It won't fit by a wide margin. I was part of the original Java team and when it
was called 'Oak' it was designed to be as compact as possible with a kernel
footprint at around 100K. (fit in a single 128KB eprom) But now that it is not
just for embedded systems its core footprint has expanded somewhat (more
like a 1MB footprint for the runtime and the native code implementation of the
lang/util classes.

Some interesting news would be Java on a WINCE system (Windows/CE).

Anyway, not on a Handyboard.

Has anyone looked into putting JAVA on the Handyboard?

I keep hearing that JAVA was originally designed for embedded systems
and I am curious if it has the ability to live within the Handyboard's
resources.


Thanks
