I have searched google and the arduino forums for how to program the arduino in java. I have seen many topics on how to make a java program in processing, netbeans and eclipse that will comunicate with the arduino, but that is NOT what i'm trying to do. So is there anyway to use netbeans or eclipse or any other IDE to program in java.

Why? What's missing from C++ and the AVR-GCC libraries?
I am teaching a Java class and want a physical platform to turn a servo and such. I also like Java.
There is a java vm for ATmega chips, called NanoVM http://www.harbaum.org/till/nanovm/index.shtml
I would think a lot of work would be needed to add the Arduino abstractions into this and that's only the start, porting the libraries could be a huge task.
If you really want java and have the time and skills to add the Arduino support, NanoVM may be a good place to start,
