ABCL on Nokia mobiles?

Hi,
Please excuse the complete lack of knowledge about ABCL, but was wondering if ABCL can be compiled to be sufficiently small enough to run on the Java virtual machine that lives on modern Nokia mobiles (like the E65 which I own).
I did a quick google, but didn't come up with much saying it was possible. Just thought I'd ask the list.
Regards
David

No, ABCL requires a standard java runtime environment, a mobile java
runtime environment
will not suffice. ABCL was originally written to target the standard
runtime, so it uses
eg. java.io facilities which are not available in mobile java, or are
available in a different, incompatible
manner.

When/if mobile devices start shipping normal java environments, abcl
becomes usable on them.
I personally don't see it worth the effort to port ABCL to mobile java.
