Since java and vlc are completely opensource when it comes to licensing
http://java.com/en/download/faq/distribution.xml (for java)
http://www.videolan.org/support/faq.html (for VLC)

I've personally embedded VLC into a C# program, and though I don't quite know what game code CCP would have to embed java or VLC into eve (and subsequently it's browser), it would be a very (and I don't want thisto seem annoying) awesome if the dev team managed to support them.

Everything that you can do with java/VLC can be done with web languages that Awesomium can already render (some of which is not in the current build, mind you). Why go through the headache of integrating java/VLC into the IGB? Besides, considering Oracle's amazing track record with security flaws, do you really want that close to your client?

Besides that, Awesomium only supports Flash and Silverlight plugins.
