Dalvik description.  It is a VM that runs pre-compiled code.

http://www.dalvikvm.com/

Dalvik source code.

http://code.google.com/p/dalvik/


https://github.com/kaffe/kaffe, an open source VM that claims to handle 
compiled Java that is not certified as a Java VM.  The web site claims 
that the Kaffe project is dormant.


Jikes translates Java source code into JAVA bytecode for a Java VM to 
run.  Source code at:

http://jikes.sourceforge.net/

Open source JDK

http://openjdk.java.net/

I have no idea if any of this could be built on any VMS platform, or 
what the performance would be.
