It's not a very cut and dried situation i'm afraid.

I don't think size of the project has much influence over the choice when
considering language.  At least not in the languages you've mentioned.

>- support object oriented programming

All three do, although at differing levels and differing feature sets
(example:  Java doesn't support Multiple Inheritance, C++ does.  But that
may not be a concern to you).

>- support parallel programming

I'm not sure exactly what you mean by that.  You mean multi-processor
support?  Threads?  Those are OS constructs, but of course the Language has
to be able to handle them (VB for instance doesn't do a good job of that).

>- lead to easily maintainable code

No language will do that.  It's a function of design.

>- promote safe programming techniques

Be aware that "safe" often means "confining".  You may not be able to do the
things you need to do in a language that doesn't support pointers or direct
hardware access (like Java).

>- have significant support from commercial vendors (compilers, GUI
>design, testing sw)

Well, Java is gaining a lot of vendor support.  But be aware that the
language is changing rapidly and that there is no standardization of it.
New versions are likely to make older code obsolete (for instance, the
switch from 1.0.x to 1.1 introduced whole new event models).  It's a very
immature language and is likely to go through a lot more growing pains.

>- be available for popular processors (such as 68xxx, PowerPC, etc.)

Processors aren't the key, OS platforms are.  You're most safe with C++ on
this matter i think.  Java isn't available on everything yet.  You're also
likely to find limited choices in ADA compilers on more obscure OS's.

>- enjoy wealth of existing solutions

If you mean add-on libraries, again this is mostly OS platform related,
although there are certainly a number of platform independant libraries as
well.  I don't know much about the 3rd party ADA market, but C++ certainly
has a strong support here.

>- support "almost real time" execution

Well, Java certainly can't do this yet.  C++ can, depending on OS support.
ADA most certainly does, or it wouldn't be able to be used in Jet Avionics
and such.

>- be suitable for design of embedded systems

C++ generally isn't.  There is an "embedded C++" that's in the works, and
there might even be some implementations.  C is better for embedded work
than C++.  I don't know the specifics of ADA embedded work.

Well, there seems to be plenty of vendor support for ADA, but I think you
won't find as much 3rd party library support.  That means you'll be stuck
writing everything from scratch in most cases.

Well, I would vote against Java.  It's too immature for a long term project
and has questionable speed.

Your choice of ADA and C++ has many factors.  It's likely going to be easier
to find people to maintain C++ code than ADA.  It's also got more 3rd party
support.  Both are standardized, although not all current compilers support
the full standard C++ yet (in fact, I don't know of any that are fully
compliant yet).

ADA is mature, and has proven itself in military applications and stability
over the years.

You've got to weigh the pros and cons and come to your own decision.
