There are a lot of data science libraries written in Python and appears to be a lot of interest in working from Java (or Scala). I recently found libpython-clj, which is an actively maintained interop between Clojure and Python. It is designed more like a foreign function interface than Jython (which does not support Python 3 and seems dead). By invoking Clojure from Java, this demo demonstrates importing numpy into Java via Clojure's interop with Java as well as how to invoke a custom Clojure script within a Java project (which is an easier place to work with libpython-clj). For now, you need a system install of all Python libraries you are going to work with, but it may be possible to reference specific and isolated Python installations for more contained deployments.
