I'm wondering how to get Java running on an embedded linux ARM
board.

Anybody know how to do it?

I found something called openjdk so I will have a try with that.

I haven't used it myself but there is an "embedded" port of OpenJDK
that is meant to run on ARM:

http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/javase-emb7u2-relnotes-1395056.html

I'd be interested in hearing how you progress with this, we tried
running some of our code on ARM devices a few years ago using other
implementations of Java and experienced some compatibility issues. If
OpenJDK runs ok then we might be able to dust them off and get some
use out of them.

Thanks Steve,

Very helpful.

I will try some of the downloads from:
