No. In it is very likely to be done in java considering all the comments and that nobody here favours C++ and that I already know java.But I am
not sure that is a good idea still.

I was being a devils advocate for C++.I wanted to see what the issues are
and how other people see them. But I would be worried that people in love
with java might be biased in their views.

I asked the same question on a C++ group.

Did they counter my points about third-party libraries, such as OpenSSL?

This most intersting comment there suggested I develop in C++ after a java prototype:.
This is the quote:
"But a large chunk of the dial-up user
base just wont wait for the download to be over. Thats not something
you should dismiss so easily.

Did they explain why you shouldn't dismiss it so easily? If so, what was the reason they provided?

Also, does your target audience rely heavily on dial-up internet connections? If your audience is in North America, then you don't have very much to worry about since high-speed internet connections are so common-place that many users (based on my experience) don't even seem to know that non-high-speed options like dial-up even exist.

Anyway, it seems you don't really have much of a choice. You only know
Java so just go ahead and at least write prototype in that language.
Hire another developer when the project takes off."

You're making an assumption about people here, and that is not an objective way to look at things.
