There was a presentation at Embedded Systems Conference - West last
October about upcoming Java language support in the "GNU compiler
suite" (gcc). I didn't attend the session, but have the conference
notes on CD-ROM somewhere around here. I don't know what kind of
"Java environment" support this would entail, but they seemed to be
talking of a JVM-less native code compiler.
