It depends on the hardware you are using, does your hardware provide
enough processing power and lack of harware interruptions (i.e. SMI) to
allow this to work properly?

It depends on your userspace code, people write real-time Java code in
userspace just fine.

Why not try it out yourself and see? You have the code and the hardware
to test, you don't need us to tell you if this works or not :)
good luck!
