I find Java as reprehensible as the next guy but there is hope. There is 
now a fairly complete Java front-end to GCC which compiles Java to 
native code called GCJ. It requires a support library called libgcj and 
it isn't very optimized yet but it requires a _LOT_ less space than the 
JRE's distributed by Sun and IBM. Also check out the Classpath project 
which is working on implementing the Java standard library.
