Some easier wins might be to:

* Make a Java servlet that can funnel requests to Zope via PCGI or FastCGI

* Make a Zope Product that can run servlets or other Java classes via JNI
(there already exist some C-based interfaces to Java from Python)

These could provide the desired Java interoperability without requiring a
rewrite of Zope proper.  Sure, it's not "100% Java", but as somebody else
has pointed out, CPython can run pretty much anywhere Java can anyhow.
