I'm sure that as long as it has to do with game programming it is ok, even if Java.
Java has got to be slower than GDI and also there is problems with refresh rates and mouse control using java, I'm talking about on Windows machines. Although there is JIT if you need it.
Here's another IDE, I think it's a tweak of the Free Java Sun compiler - but it's easier to find and is updated regularly.
