I do not know how related is it to your work, but I made some
experiment to translate Smalltalk into Java (http://www.squeaksource.com/Smalltalk2Java.html

Did you check SqueakOnJava?
I have looked at these implementations, Bistro and others.
However, I'm wanting to get as close to native JVM Bytecode as
possible.

A good point, but I'm not sure how that approach would allow
profiling, debugging and
integration with Java. This is outlined a little in the previous post:

Would it be sufficient to choose those classes that are also
outlined in the ANSI standard?
