It looks like it already supports java.
I above distors are the ones that I know for sure that CodeLite is running. I am using wxWidgets as the framework, so it should be able to run on other distros as well, but you will need to build it from sources, details instructions of how to do it can be obtained here:

If you face problems with the build, post a message here:
