I don't understand your question. PyPy doesn't do anything with Java. In 
principle you could use PyPy's underlying toolchain to build a Java 
compiler, similar to the Python, Prolog and PHP compilers already made, 
but nobody has done so for Java so far as I know.

Or do you mean, how does PyPy compare with <insert name of Java compiler 
here>? I don't know. There are some old benchmarks here:

benchmarks-plb/


but the person doing the benchmarks is by his own admission not a skilled 
Python programmer.
