I doubt there are pre-made LEAF packages available, especially if
you want Sun's JRE. IIRC, Sun's licensing makes redistribution a
pain.
The easiest path might be to use Bering-uclibc + libc225.lrp[1]
+ Sun's JRE binary. Be prepared though...it's huge:
You have chosen to download Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment,
Standard Edition 1.4.1_02
* Download j2re-1_4_1_02-linux-i586.bin .
Filesize = 22,954,988 bytes.
Depending on the apps you want to run, you might be able to get
away with one of the open source VMs like kafee[2]. (I'm pretty
sure there are others, but the names escape me at the moment.)
Another approach, if size is an issue and you don't need the full
J2SE API, would be to use the Micro Edition stuff[3].
There are also compilers, like gcj[4], available that can produce
native machine code.
Good luck.
