I would think Java would have some pretty sophisticated plotting libraries and if you are committed to Java I would try and find/extend a native Java library. Porting mpl is probably not an option -- we use a fair amount of C++ with python bindings to do rendering and since you can't install client side code this approach probably won't work. One could use the SVG output combined with a Java SVG renderer.... Alternatively, if you have a client/server mode, you could generate your figures with matplotlib server side and send them to the client.
