Java might not be the best language choice for a screen saver.

a) Java might be the best language choice for a cross-platform screen
saver. https://screensavers.dev.java.net/

b) The OP didn't ask which language is best.

c) I suspect the OP is hoping for some sort of ScreenSaver-o-matic that
converts "gimme blue one n zooming meteors, yeah n cool rap trax" into
software for him/her. Perhaps I've been reading newsgroups for too long :)

I can not be done without JNI. JNI is a mess. I would say that
there need to be significant advantages using Java over other
languages in other parts of the code to compensate for the JNI
usage.

And the above link is not cross-platform - it is only some
versions of Windows, Linux and Solaris.
