Have any one looked at this package?
http://jamvm.sourceforge.net/

its C and been tested on PPC linux and mac.
It needs posix threads, and I have no idea what that is though.

Pthreads is just an API for running and coordinating multiple tasks. It might be as simple as creating a wrapper functon for pthread_create that uses CreateTask in the Amiga API. I would imagine its probably more complicated than that though.

I found this for OS4

I did find this for 68K, however the links are broken :(

You could probably attract the interest of programmers if you were to run this thing on Linux or some other supported platform, make sure it works, and finally give some examples of the kind of applications this will bring.

I'm just trying to figure out what sort of application i would run on this thing and i'm coming up blank, and if i were to develop a application for the Amiga, i doubt the language of choice would be Java.
