Thank you Andrew.

This is interesting. Does the OpenJDK allow native compilation?
No.

But it would be possible with (relatively) less work. I have written a Java source code to Eiffel source code compiler using the OpenJDK classes for the standard library. I have mapped all Java language constructs and implemented the runtime far enough so that simple SWT applications can be compiled (kind of "proof of concept"). There is a good chance that I can find someone continuing the work on it the next half year. I'm hoping that it will then be usable with real applications and also for Linux/Mac.
