Java needs to be compiled and ant is meant to be started from the 
command line. Of course you can invoke the main method from Java but 
what's the point? Developers have to be able to review ebuilds and 
having all those different languages would make the job harder and I 
don't really see benefits. If you need something bit more complex done 
in an ebuild, you can always use something like inline python.
