Charles is correct that the the J GtkIde and gedit both use gtksourceview and therefore the J lang file that ships with J should work fine. I remember getting this to work sometime ago but unfortunately can't remember the details.
In addition the J syntax definition has been submitted to the gtksourceview developers and should therefore eventually be supported out-of-the-box by gedit and other editors that use gtksourceview.
