Development of a j2me compiler

Wed Oct 11 21:29:00 GMT 2006

Hello,
I am doing initial research about porting the Free Pascal Compiler (
www.freepascal.org ) to produce Java bytecode. This compiler is GPL
licensed. I was told I can find information about low-level java
things here, and I appreciate any tips you guys could give to me, or
directions to which docs I should read and other places to find
information.
First, what do you use to convert java assembler code into byte code?
I found Jasmin project out there, but I think it only works for j2se,
and I am specially interrested on targeting the mobile platform.
Also, what are the differences between j2me and j2se about their
bytecode and class file structure? Are the opcodes of their assembler
the same? Is it much different one from the other?
Can gcj generate j2me code?
thanks in advance,
