Yes it's being done. I believe Symantec has such a product.
I believe Nathan Yospe mentioned a vendor?
There are "free" things being developed but they do ugly things like
translate Java to C and then compile and link with buggy garbage
collection libraries and other stuff.
Aside: Check out <http://java.pages.de/> There's some interesting
recreations of ancient arcade games there.

I do believe a JIT merely optimizes the .class bytcode for
the particular VM.

No, because the native code still resides in the VM.
