Overall your development choice should be the best tool for the job, factoring in which are the most important issues you're being faced with.
C is a highly portable language and may be the right choice for what you want to do. So is Java and maybe it's the right choice for what you want to do. Your development team and what they know is yet another one.
I also disagree that Java is like a cross between C and C++... very little like C at all, other than the borrowed syntax. What you had with Java, when it came out, was like a dumbed down interpreted C++. The dumbing down was for a few reasons:
1. to avoid some things that were considered to be mistakes in C++
2. to make some things easier to implement
The choice of syntax for Java was purely to make it easy for C++ programmers to adopt.

The syntax is a second generation of legacy based on C. That's about as far as I would say that this language is related to C.
