There are a number of other JVM types and vendors for Palm OS. esmertec for example. IBM have a whole bunch of JVM's. It's worth hunting around for the VM that best suits your abilities and requirements. However, as Vinu says, there will be a performance hit using a VM, and most people use C/C++.

Sun does offer a MIDP for Palm OS development environment for creating Java applications on the Palm OS but your applications will have to take a performance hit due to the KVM. I'm not sure how well the VM is optimized to run on Palm OS, but your applications will not be as fast as the C/C++ counterparts.
