I'm not aware of a document that lays out the goals
of the development of Java.  Is there one?  If so,
how does fail to match the goals of Ada (as documented
at great length from Strawman on)?

The only document I've seen about Java goals was a 
rambling white paper from its creator, the gist of
which was that Java meets his preferences and
idiosyncracies.
