Java Emu?

Hi Everybody! (My first pos  ;))
Is there any possibility to make a Java Emulator? It will be great e.g. play in java games or use other applications like dictionaries.
Greets.

GodEater:
Yes it's possible - but it would take a significant amount of effort, and would likely perform extremely badly.

You're welcome to attempt one though.

ComposerDude:
Yeah, basically it would take an arm and a leg of your time. Running a Sun virtual machine on top of Rockbox would be so resource hungry that you'd have to wait 'til Rockbox came out on an iPhone. Which certainly sounds ridiculous.
Personally, I'm comfortable with the API as it is in Rockbox, becasue it is already open to wide and varied attempts at porting codecs, applets, and programs that the original firmware cannot support. Not to mention, the on-going developement of Rockbox keeps it fresh, especially as more people contribute and join them in making a better music player.

Mainly because if I really want to use an arm and a leg of my time, I'd rather put them to good use.

LambdaCalculus:
A Java emulator/simulator/interperter (take your pick) would be rather insane to add to Rockbox, considering that not many of the targets are powerful enough to handle one.

[JOKE]But how about a Perl interperter instead? I can search for my music using regular expressions![/JOKE]

sersoft:
what about J2ME ? (java for cell phones)

I dunno why I'm asking, I already have 27games on my cell phone   ::)
