I am now currently looking for java jobs in the Seattle area. I have a computer science degree and some courses on C++ and Java. what should I do in order to just break into this field? Most employers are saying that I have no Java experience. That is frustrating. Thanks.

Employers will always use a lack of experience as an excuse for them not being able to determine if you actualy know anything. It is only showing their weakness as a manager. You just need to get a job doing anything, as close to a computer screen as possbile. The longer you are at a job the more chances you will have to prove yourself and take on more responsibility. Don't restrict your job search with keywords like "java". Good luck.
