"JAvaOS for consumer" is not a Java OS. It is simply a PersonalJava VM
on top of a real-time kernel (Chorus).
All system or driver call must be done in native code, like any standard
Java implementation on an OS.
The only thing that could justify the marketing name "JavaOS" is that
the AWT has been implemented in Java on native low-level graphics
primitives.
The real Java OS is JavaOS for business, from Sun and IBM. Its
documentation can be found at IBM. (not recall the URL)
