I don't know anything about the combo AMIGA Java, but for sure I can say Java is a wonderfull language.
And now it is becoming faster, it has hardware acceleration on a lots of platforms, and in the future I bet that processors will have a microcode to exec bytecode directly.

I'm writing games (applets and not) in Java and I'm happy for the result. I've coded in assembly, C/C++ and other languages so I can see the differences.
Java is much simplier, and simplier to debug.

I hope you'll be able to make Java run on Amiga, but...

In the case you doesn't make it work, then I suggest you to use Sun VM for Linux.

http://java.sun.com

It is perfect! It runs the same speed as the equivalent window version and it can use OpenGL acceleration.

EDIT:
Oops... maybe I missed the point.
I'm not sure Sun VM is avaible for Amiga Linux :-(
