Indeed! In fact, there's a reverse-engineering project for a free
version of Java that looks pretty promising. From the README:
Kaffe v0.1
==========
This is Kaffe, a Java(tm)* compatible virtual machine interpreter and
translator. Unlike the current version distributed by Sun's Javasoft*,
this system performs "on-the-fly" conversion of the Java virtual machine
code into native machine code. This allows execution of Java code at
speeds approaching standard compiled code but maintains Java machine
code independence.
