Unfortunately it doesn't seems so as the Jazelle-related code (/src/

I find it completely ridiculous to have an undocumented instruction
set on a generally available CPU, which I have told ARM at any given
occasion. However, they haven't really been ready to see it from that
point of view.

Seems more likely to me that Sun can't give away code that they have
only licensed from ARM.
As stupid as it may be, Jazelle specifications are proprietary to ARM
and ARM is probably the one that would object to Sun releasing
jazelle-related code.
You'd think a hardware manufacturer would want people to be able to
actually use the hardware they purchase.
If we want Jazelle to work on the 770 it's up to nokia to negotiate with
ARM. Thus far we have seen very little interest from Nokia in bringing a
JVM to the 770.
