What is the lightest Java virtual machine? (except KVM)

Question

I would like to install Java on a Psion 5MX with a 16 MB GNU / Linux RAM machine, is this possible?

Unfortunately, "KVM must be installed by the manufacturer . "

I want to be able to write basic Java codes, test and sketch simple algorithms. Important notes: I do not need the graphical part, since I will use the console (without a graphical server), but it will be inside Debian.

Wikipedia has a list of Java virtual machines , with several of them open source and targeting devices for embedding. Like Mika , which seems pretty small and portable.

Maybe a little late, but I also suggest Squawk. It works on sunlight devices that have 160 thousand copies (or something in this area). 160mhz CPU. The whole JVM is open source, so you can try to overwrite it for your devices :)
