Not as it is currently set.  The list is processed in order, first
match wins, so you should get jde-mode.

    Richard> If so how can i edit the variable?

(setq auto-mode-alist (delete (rassoc 'java-mode auto-mode-alist)
                              auto-mode-alist))

should do the trick.

As for your original question, my understanding is that jde-mode is
really a derivative of cc-mode, and that the JDEE provides lots of
additional functionality around that.

What does C-h m tell you about available functionality in the current
mode?  If you see lots of keys bound to "jde" commands, then probably
JDEE is active but is delegating line-by-line editing to a derivative
of cc-mode.
