No. They are nearly as different as Shakespeare and Algebra.

Moreover, Java is a much worse language than NetLogo to write the sort of program that NetLogo is designed for. Why buy a forest and cut down the trees in it to build your house with when you can buy pre-cut lumber?

However, because NetLogo is written in Java, and they provide an API, you can use Java /with/ NetLogo, if you need to write a program that combines the sort of thing that NetLogo does with some bits that are awkward or impractical in that language.
