It can be done. It is just not very practical, you are better off writing C.

The only situation I can think of where Java would be right fit is where you have an application with a lot of logic and just a small part that needs to be highly optimized.

Most trading systems I work on only need a very small portion to be highly optimised. As long as most of the code is pretty efficient that is fine.
