Ahem: JDEE uses the built-in java-mode, AFAIK (and extends it in
various ways).

I'd say, make a derived-mode:

    (define-derived-mode netrexx-mode java-mode "NetRexx"
      "A mode to edit NetRexx files."
      ...)

and in the `...' part, just change whatever needs to behave differently.
You can derive from jde-mode if you prefer, of course.
