Do you want J chip???
Do you readed JVM description?
It's qite hard to make non-java-to-java compiler(like for ada).
There is some needed for almost all langs except java instructions
missed.(like PushAtTopOfStackDataFromStackAddressN,instead of that,you
should declare local variables in LocalVariablesTable in Java like
style!).
JVM is not universal VM.It's specially for Java. Any other language have
problems with compiling for it.
