Personally I think a java game is fine if the JVM is provided so the player can just click to play without having to install java, just like C/etc. games should provide the libs they need (SDL, etc.), and love2d games should be playable without having installed love2d (especially since different versions of love2d are incompatible). But then it’s a 4 days game jam and unless someone has already done this distribution work before it’s something that takes time to get right…
