Sorry, but it seems that I don't understand your train of thought.
here are some ideas:
1. In order not re-invent the wheel, it would be better to start from
JVM Sun's implementation. The code, if I'm not wrong, is public.
Or, at least, from a solid implementation.
The sourcecode of Suns JVM is public, but not OpenSource.
The reason why Harmony exists is the
disaffection/discontent/discontentment/dissatisfaction/ discontentedness
with Suns license.
If you use Suns code, you have at the end something line Blackdown.
And that don't make sense.
2. An attracting feature would be designing the Harmony JVM to be portable
across Windows and Linux.
... and MacOSX .. and BeOS ... and PDAs ... and and and.
And I think, that is one goal of Harmony.
