What about building an IJ (Interactive Java). You loose all the cool
stuff, but then again, there isn't much for graphics on the handy

perhaps Java is a little easier to learn (ducking as the holy wars
begin).
Depends on what the original question was, JAVA the language, or JAVA
the environment. They are different.
I wonder if anyone has tried a Forth implementation on the Java
environment?
