As far as I know, libgcj has never been ported to this chip, or, for
that matter, any other 16-bit processor. It might be possible, but
would probably be difficult. For one thing you'd probably need to
solve the longstanding size problem -- libgcj is quite large, and for
a system like that you'd want to trim it down quite a bit. However,
currently there is no way to do that. See the gcj list archives for
plenty of discussion of this topic.
