How would you specify where to find the interpreter? Compiled Java doesn't have comments, so you couldn't use the #!-style approach.
Hard-code it in, perhaps as a config option?
Other than that, it doesn't seem like a bad idea...certainly a nice marketing `feature', actual `should it be in the kernel?' questions aside.
