I was wondering if you can use java to program games? I've read a couple of books but it doesn't tell where i can or can't. if not that's ok i'm also learning to use C++

you can use any programming language that has I/O and/or simple display capabilities to program games.
I think he meant is it more used/easier.
I think C/C++ is the best. Some say DarkBasic is good, but only for beginners. I personally think of cell phones when I hear java nowadays

I spoke as a child,
I thought as a child,
I reasoned as a child.

I think Java is the easiest language for simple 2D games. It lacks the performance necessary for intense 3D graphics unless your a total Java Guru.

Thank you guys. I think i'll try to learn C++ first.
Try C# with GDI+, it's about as easy as Java, but still a Windows GUI.
Plus, moving from C# to C++ is a nice easy step IMHO... C# is a good place to start learning about OOP. (again just IMHO, some people would disagree)
The .NET platform is free, Microsoft's C# compiler is free, and this IDE - http://www.icsharpcode.net/ is free.
