Compatibility and performance in general are on par with Windows Vista, regardless of whether you choose Java or anything else.

Generally you can expect Java to work. I haven't had any problems with it so far, not even in the beta and RC. Eclipse does run, too.

The approximately-native-looking Swing PLAF looks a little wonky with Aero but that has always been that way with Java, even on Vista.

This is all subjective but I haven't had a problem using Win7 and eclipse 3.5. The real question is, is your box up to snuff.
