I don't know if you aware of it, but the Java sources are publicly
available.
To access it, you have to register at their web site.
FreeBSD has a native port, so has Linux.
A BeOS port has begun by Clay Atkins, but I really don't know what's
the status of this project - it's very quiet on its ML; but Clay writes
a mail every 6 month or so, stating he is still working on it.
But I doubt there is much happening.
Adios...
Axel.
