I'm just a beginner Java programmer, but have programmed two applications
in VB.  If it is a database-oriented application, then I'm not sure which
way I would I go (although, I would definitely look towards Java hoping
that it would work).  Otherwise, I would go for Java.  I find VB's
error-handling to be horrific and always leads to problems.  I would avoid
VB whenever possible.  (I shuddder just thinking about it.)

Java gives you portability and probably less configuration problems at
your client's desktops.  VB's application speed might be faster, but I
have no documents or tests to support my claim.
