IBM released the source to the Jikes RVM (Also known as the Jalapeno project), which supports building/running on PPC Linux. No JNI yet, but IIRC, they are working on it. It's also not meant to be a production quality. But it's *something*. Also note that in IBM's future java plans, it says: "IBM plans for Java 2 SE technology encompass delivering IBM Developer Kits for Java version 1.3.1 on an expanded range of platforms (AIX - PowerPC 32-bit and PowerPC 64-bit; zOS; AS/400; Windows 32-bit and 64-bit; Linux on 32-bit and 64-bit Intel architecture, Linux on PowerPC 32-bit, Linux on 32-bit zSeries) with delivery currently scheduled for 4Q 2001 and 1Q 2002 depending on the platform. OS/2 is scheduled for 1H2002. Our implementation of version 1.3.1 will include enhancements to the JIT compiler, garbage collection technology and JVM serviceability." Having worked for IBM research over the summer, let me just say that working with a JDK with a JIT on PPC Linux was quite nice, after having to use one with no JIT for so long.
