All of our source tree is written in (ANSI) C, C++, and interpreted
languages with interpreters located elsewhere in the tree and written
in C or C++. This is not unreasonable, when you think about
it. Maintaining compilers for 18 different platforms would be a
nightmare otherwise.

Now that gcc/egcs support native Java compilation, we could perhaps
start adding Java to the supported list, but probably not any time soon.
