On the software side, we are using C++ and OpenCV running atop Arch Linux. The capabilities of OpenCV are quite impressive, so read the tutorials!
I'm not sure about JavaCV, but a board like the one we built would definitely be fast enough to run Oracle Java 7.
You might need to upgrade your power supply to the M4. When we went with an onboard x86, we started with the 160W pico. The problem you'll hit is when you run all your motors at top speed and your system voltage drops down to 10 volts, which caused our computer to shutdown.
