Of course. The XO bundle format and Sugar were designed to work fine  
independent of your choice of programming language (though Python is  
better supported than others).

For Java that means probably including gij and whatever runtime files  
it needs within your app bundle.

It means you need to put a line like

exec=run.sh

into your activity.info file.

Put the script into YourActivity.activity/bin/run.sh

Handle these command line options in your script as outlined in

http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Low-level_Activity_API

which describes non-Python activities.
