Like real Java (the compiled kind) or a ajax one that uses javascript? Big difference.

If it the second look at this

Most use PHP and MySQL. You need to at least be able to make a database.

The java requirement may be a little tricky. Most chat servers (irc or other) that I know of offhand are either C or C++.

See:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_IRC_daemons

although, looks like openfire might also be an option.
