RE: "Team" members wanted

Trendy is not a valuable trait of an implementation language. Solid libraries, tooling and oversight would be more attractive. Java has those, JS does not.

I'm curious: why Java?   Have you considered JavaScript / ES6? 
JavaScript is now the most widely used programming language[1], and it now has very solid server-side support.  A more modern language may attract more volunteers also.  Unless there are over-riding concerns pushing you to Java, I would suggest considering JavaScript / ES6.
