Java itself is too slow.  Performance critical code (like most real-time audio stuff) you must write in C/C++/assembly/forth or whatever suits you (but it has to work fast) and stick it into shared libraries.  That's how JSyn is implemented.  But it uses Java as a programming language so any Java coder will feel at home.  It's got also a GUI frontend in which you connect boxes together and it generates Java code but you have to pay for that one.

If I understand it well (I haven't looked at jMax in ages) jMax backend (the audio engine) is in C or C++.  The frontend is in Java.
