There's a YHC that can compile to JavaScript, and JavaScript can be
run on Java...
Which means, practically speaking, there is no YHC backend for the JVM.

YHC, last I heard, was alive and well and there's a YHC Core backend
for the JVM.
Is there an interest in hosting GHC on the JVM (besides my own).
There's interest but my understanding is that the GHC backend
architecture is not at all friendly to work with. That said, I hear
in the next release (I think 6.12, not the 6.10 that's in beta) will
have a redesigned backend architecture that is supposed to be much
easier to work with, which will make it easier to provide native
code generators for many currently poorly-served platforms ---
including the JVM if anyone is so inclined.
You might want to ask on glasgow-haskell-users to get the people who
really know.
