It's nice to hear that.

It should be possible to easily port SableVM easily to pretty much any
POSIX-compatible environmnet.  The CPU usually does not really matter.
I.e. the basic port of SableVM to Linux/HPPA platform has been done in
about half an hour (see http://sablevm.org/wiki/Hall_Of_Fame ).

Well, OSGI can mean a lot of software.  Some of it might really be Sun
Java specific (like i.e. even Apache's Geronimo is), some might use
features not yet existant in GNU Classpath or even SableVM (though
these last ones we can usually fix/add easily)...

But hey, we've just got Eclipse working (which IS a big piece of
software) so nothing is impossible :-)

I hope this answers your questions.

PS: This question fits better on the sablevm-user mailing list, than
on sablevm-devel so I am replying to sablevm-user.  In the future,
please rather use sablevm-user for such questions.  Thanks :)
