This is Java Plum which is common and grows to a massive tree.
This is a beautiful tropical tree from Malaysia and produces thousands of fruit on a small tree and possible many hundreds of thousands of fruits on a large tree. The trees' leaves resemble a Ficus tree. They grow extremely fast to around 50 to 70 feet tall. I once had many of these trees and had to give them all away because they grew too large.
The tree to the left is a mango tree.

Marguerite,
This plant is growing through the large monkey enclosure at the San Diego Zoo.

See who else is growing Syzygium cumini.
See who else has plants in genus Syzygium.
Note: because it produces so many fruit...it has a tendency to become a weed tree in wet and even drier areas. I have seen many seedlings under large trees.
