Production NCs by definition will run Java.

Needing to *run* Java at the server end is pretty rare - all you usually
need to do is serve it which basically any web server can do (I assume you
are thinking of java applets on web pages or pulled down via web space).

Things people might use Java on the server for are if they have Java server
programs (e.g. a java chat server or java based database interface) - not
stuff most public servers do and all of which can be done in C(++).

In short it's probable that you don't actually *need* a Java port to
RiscBSD to do what you want.
