Differences between java and C++

I need to know what exactly the diffrences between JAVA & C++. I know that Java does not support typedefs, defines, or a preprocessor like C++. Also Java does not support enums but, as mentioned above, does support named constants.
Java supports classes, but does not support structures or unions.

What i need is the difference in performance, etc ...

Major difference is that java doesn't have pointers.

Java does support enums. Java also supports generics but in a slightly different way than c++. It does not support mulitple inheritance though. There must be some resource on the web with the full list, as well as performance.. Java is based on a virtual machine, so performance comparisons are a little like comparing apples and oranges...
