Java for C++ Developers - Disadvantages

In case you were gaping in awe at the advantages of Java No templates

Java doesn't support templates yet, although generic Limited support for const



Java has a mechanism similar to const for declaring
named constants, but lacks const support in other areas
(such as parameters to methods, const objects, methods
only applicable to const objects, and returning pointers
to const Cut-down version of multiple
    inheritance



Java classes can only inherit the implementation of one base class.
There is a separate Java mechanism called an interface,
which allows a class to inherit the interface No enums No string formatting routines



C provides printf and its variants for formatted
output. C++ supports the C routines, and also provides stream output
with formatting. Java provides nothing in this regard!
