Not sure what you were trying to say here; one "Java in hardware": http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PicoJava



Really big formatting fail. There should be a close parenthesis after the exist. I know the JVM in hardware implementations "exist", but they aren't real implementations since they lack many of the OS like features (Threads , I/O , ... ) That the JVM gives you. Even though we can run byte code in hardware we can't just copy a class file to a processor and execute it. It still needs a run time and a OS to make it full spec.
