No, please, no!
I have been programming in many different languages (at least one per 
family, i.e. iterative, functional, i+OOP, f+OOP) for about 20 years now 
and am currently writing a Java program for money (so I do know what I'm 
talking about, even if that sounds a bit arrogant). There's no way I 
would program an OSM tool in Java. This is my spare time, I don't want 
to spoil it with writing programs in such a horrible language.
If you want to program in Java, that's fine by me. But please don't 
force everyone else to use the language of _your_ choice.

CU Sascha
