There's guavac, which is a javac written in C++. Then there's pizza, an
extended version of the Java language. There's also Jump, another Java
variant with parameterized data types. Then there's also another Java
variant being developed at MIT LCS, used by the software engineering
classes.
Of the four, only guavac is free afaik but it seems development has
stopped. Cygnus is reportedly interested in developing a javac-frontend
to gcc.
