It depends on how "embedded" you want to be.  If you're looking to 
build a trivial appliance, I'd recommend Forth rather than Java. 

By the time you put a JRE and all the associated frippery onto a
general-purpose system you don't really have an "embeddable" product
anymore.

But really, without much more in the way of context, it's hard to be 
truly helpful. 8)
