For more than a decade, there has been http://www.ajile.com out doing direct
silicon execution of Java, complete with some microcode assist. Their web site
now speaks more directly at a market in the JME side of things. The first
version of their chip did JDK1.1.8 with some hiccups in GC that took some time
to work out.
Sun would not advertise nor support them too much for some reason. The original
team was composed of people who left HP, Sun and other companies and bought the
rights to the chip manufacturing from one of the companies (I've forgotten which
one).

Slightly off-topic: I attended a high-level talk by Oracle last night
about their Java strategy. One thing they said was that they want to
push more of the SE API down to ME and eventually eliminate ME (if I
understood them correctly). They also said they're working on running a
JVM on a bare Xen hypervisor without an intervening OS. So their
intentions seem to be to focus on heavier platforms. They talked just a
tiny bit about embedded, but that certainly did not sound like a
priority.
However, the talk was more marketing than tech, so I'm not sure that
this means too much.
Too bad I didn't see this thread yesterday, or I would have asked about
RTSJ.

I'm looking at Sun's RTSJ and Embedded Industrial x86 at the moment. My
guess is that Oracle wont open it, even though Sun originally intended
to. Java looks ideal for embedded. Although at this stage I have no
intent of utilising Jini on real time threads.
