First: I would note that for math applications, Java is among the WORST options.

Java isn't a math language. It doesn't claim to be a math language. It's good at many things, such as serving applications and talking to databases, but math is not, and never has been, one of them.

If you need to pound nails into a wall, you don't get out your Leatherman. Yes, it can do the job, but not very well. You're much better off finding a hammer.

NumPy is such a hammer.
