We support obj-C, and have C wrappers that could be used in any C/C++ bit of
code. However, the stack cannot be called from a Carbon context yet. We do
not support Java, and suspect that if you attempt to do a JNI bridge you
will run into some difficulties with the UI elements, but the core stack
would probably work fine (IOBluetoothDevice APIs, etc), although we have
definitely not tried it, so your mileage may vary.
In regards to what you should learn - I would recommend you jump in to
learning obj-C. It is very similar to java - in fact I think a lot of the
ideas of java were modeled after it. Besides obj-c being really cool once
you get past the goofy syntax, I would say it is the best language I've ever
used, and the UI element tools are simply the best, bar none.

Welcome to the Mac world, I think you'll find you made the right choice!
Let's hope others see the light! ;-)
