Thanks for the links !
On [3] there is even a link to port for the ETRAX100 processor, but the 
sources date back to year 2001 and the README  doesn't look promising.

I won't say that you can't come up with a Java-VM that runs on the fox, but I 
would expect any VM to support all the classes from java.util, java.io, 
java.nio, java.net, java.lang.thread and still leave enough memory-resources 
to run something bigger than HelloWorld.java.

Don't want to discourage anybody, but I don't think there will ever be a 
JVM+Java-Libr implementation that can match up to the 
WriteOnceRunEverywhere-Idea.
The Fox just wasn't made for this, I think.

BTW : I love java as a language on my desktop system, but I know when I'm 
better off with "C" :-)
