I'm interested to hear how you make out as well.  Since java is *supposed to be*
"write once, run anywhere" you should be able to do your development on your PC
and then copy over the byte code to the SBC.  The advantage to this is that you
may only need a JVM, not a compiler on the SBC.  How good is the portability?  I
can't say.  I've carried bytecode between windows, linux, and Sun and it works
OK.  We'll see if ARM is portable as well.

Has anyone ever done low level I/O (read analog inputs aka mmap, etc) in java?
I figured I would do that in C, and have a socket between the C program and the
java program.  But then again, wasn't java supposed to be THE language for
embedded devices?

Good luck,
