The current Sun JVM does not work on the PPC architecture.

I was thinking the gp had seen something else.

The Sun JVM is already x86 & SPARC portable. And IBM (and Apple) have one on PowerPC, which I've heard is just Sun's Java + patches.

In any case, I would expect that once the whole thing is GPL'd that it'll be made to work on PowerPC pretty quickly - probably by IBM.
