Using spylon-kernel with java?

[rvhaasen]

Currently I'm using the spylon-kernel to access our spark-cluster which runs on mesos. This works perfectly from scala. Now I would like to use the notebook with spark from java. I tried the IJava kernel which however does not manage to create a spark-session on the cluster (it does work with local spark, but not for the mess-hosted spark-cluster).
Is it possible to use the spylon-kernel as a base for creating a java version?
