Yea, you can.. At least I currently am...

I see no real reason not to code any new application in Java if you meet
the four following tests...

1. Your application does not need top computational performance in a
small foot print..
2. You can get a VM for the platform.
3. You don't need direct access to hardware that cannot be done yet in
Java on your platform.
4. Learning costs of Java are too high.

Of course, it's always a judgment call...
