It is possible. An effort to do that for source code was 
http://ovid.tigris.org/Ephedra/ and there is a bunch of links on the 
site that lead further.
Another approach is binary translation to bytecode, like 
nestedvm.ibex.org does it.
Finally, Trent Waddington wrote a jvm backend for gcc, available at 
http://www.itee.uq.edu.au/~cristina/uqbt.html#gcc-jvm
