First there is a missing void in the test case:

8<----------------------------
import java.nio.ByteOrder;

public class Test
{
  public static void main(String args[])
  {
    ByteOrder.nativeOrder();
  }
}
8<-------------------------


Yes, bug is confirmed.

Code:

  public static ByteOrder nativeOrder()
  {
    return (System.getProperty ("gnu.cpu.endian").equals("big")
            ? BIG_ENDIAN : LITTLE_ENDIAN);
  }

We don't have the gnu.cpu.endian system property defined.  I guess it would be
up to SableVM to define it.

Work around:
sablevm -p gnu.cpu.endian=big -Y Test
if you are on a big endian arch (ppc, sparc, etc.)

and I guess:
sablevm -p gnu.cpu.endian=little -Y Test
if you are on little endian like x86
