There are also (again just a few) SW/compiling JVM that run on the bare
metal without an OS. They could use the Java version. And there is
one OS in Java project: JNode http://www.jnode.org/
But JNode is more on the PC side and not for embedded systems.

Overall I agree that there are not (yet ?) that many systems out
that could use a Java YAFFS.

Yes, you're right. It's quite a chunk of code with a structure
that has to be rebuilt to an OO style for Java. I did some C to
Java porting in the past, but on way simpler things such
as an Ethernet driver from Linux. That was straight forward.
