Is there a possible choice to program these in java?

As long as there is a compiler that can compile it into a DS ROM, you can program in any language. (To the best of my non-developer knowledge.)

Do you mean Java ME/MIDP (suitable for e.g. games on unlocked cellphones), or do you mean Java SE (suitable for PC programs)? In the former case, I'd expect it to be possible to port gcj and classpath to the DS, but nobody has done it yet.

Have you tried using GCC? I know that GCC can compile Java, although it's rather a bit of a kludge, especially on the backend to generate the Java bytecode.
Theoretically, you can just compile Java directly to native code through GCC, but I couldn't tell you how much of the Java support libraries would have to be compiled in as well.
