I'm still learning both languages but I think I can answer this one:
Ada is a more mature language; it has been standardized since 1983.
And everyone knows that the best language for learning, not necessarily
using, data structures is Pascal, or in this case, a Pascal-like
language.
Java is still growing. It is incomplete having been specified for
the most part but still being far from implemented. Sorta like the
draft C++ standard.
