No, OE is used to built distributions for PDAs, consumer NAS devices
(Linksys NSLU2), dozens of debug boards, the Gumstix devices and
whatnot. What all of them share is that they run Linux as the kernel.

No. Not anymore. I wrote the mentioned OE article in 2005 and built
nano, screen, gnu classpath and jamvm back then.

There are two historical pictures of JamVM running on GNU Classpath:

If I find the time I will write a quick distro config which can compile
application that are compatible to Open2x.
