Java isn't really a language that is built for interaction and there is no notebook kernel for it. You can add a JAR to a workspace and run it, but not a notebook.

A notebook can have scala. You can make it the default language of the notebook or put %scala at the top of the cell.

Java 9 onwards there is a good support on REPL .I really find it hard to understand why still Java notebooks are not supported yet .

From my understand, Java isn't a built-in language for notebook.
