eh? A tab is of course 8 chars and if you set the "c-basic-offset" to 8 it
will use tab (unless it needs to indent less than one complete offset step
somewhere). For 4 space tab, something like this in the .emacs:
(defun my-java-mode-hook ()
(progn
(c-set-style "java")
(setq c-basic-offset 4)
(setq tab-width 4)
)
)
(add-hook 'java-mode-hook 'my-java-mode-hook)
[edited from my .emacs, it may be broken. I do not use 4 space tabs, they
are broken as well.]
You may want to set c-tab-always-indent to nil, that makes it indent
normally when to the left of any text (space+tab mixed if 4 space indent
level and 8 space tab) and else insert normal tabs.

If the above wasn't what you are after, feel free to continue this
off-list as we are moving dangerously far off topic.
'M-x describe-key [press key]' is a good place to start looking for emacs
help on keybindings when in some special mode.
