they should be assuming the mime type is correct - does nautilus
identify the java files as :

"text/x-java" or "text/x-java-source" or "application/x-java" or
"application/x-javascript" (tracker definitely indexes all of these)

If not, make sure you have the shared-mime-info package installed

Also there is a bug in tracker-search-tool in 0.6.3 which omits the last
category in a search

to be sure if it is searchable try tracker-search on the command line
