Kaffe is also a solution... Transvirtual - the developers of Kaffe - have
an embedded version (which is commercial). They have it running on nearly

One of the things that make Java interesting for embedded solutions are
embedded solutions where you want to be able to add or remove

rapidly change platforms (switch to another CPU etc.), without the hassle
of providing applications for your older hardware platforms.
