James... the code you would actually have to write is much smaller than you
think... thanks to the Link/Pipe architecure. There are a few base classes
that you would need to implement (Processor, Port etc. for direct access)
and any TransportLink implementations you might need... in your case with
the uVM, the minimum would would be the UART link... but you could also do
an I2C or API link as well.
For instance, the JStamp platform impl. has a total of 4 classes, and that
allows a fully working I2C system, with all the drivers availible in the
JAPL (I think I've done about 10 or so already, though they are not all
tested).

You will have an added problem because you have to re-compile everything
into native code... but that case I think is unusual, and you may not have a
problem at all if it happens automatically, because you only have a few
classes that must be native... everything else is pure JAPL.
