There are some compilers that do this -- in particular, I'm thinking
of Jump for the PalmPilot, which takes Java bytecodes, "compiles" them
to 68000 assembler, and then runs Pila, the Pilot Assembler, on them.
Jump works this way, though, mainly because the memory and speed
limitations of the PalmPilot make running a real JVM impractical.
Indeed, Jump leaves out many Java features that can't be used on the
Pilot, and comes with several classes intended for use only with the
Pilot.
