Washing machines? It might have been used there too, but after all, it's a General Programming Language, as is C and C++. So, C++ was also used to program TV chips and stuff like that, still you don't tell that about them. Why is Java bad? Because it offers the programer freedom (is platform free), you don't have to deal with low-level memory allocation and stuff like that, you have to follow a very simple design (unlike C++, which is a very vast language) and it's just as powerful as C or C++ (after all, it's based on them), yet it covers a slightly bigger picture than C and C++ (this is a personal supposition, and I give the Java applets as an example). And no, Java was originally created to program handheld devices:
