May I ask what the application of running java on the Nios would be? Why not just use C?

I'm sure it is possible to port java to uClinux, but you seriosuly can't expect much speed from it when running on Nios. It will be slow and eat up memory. If possible, I would recommend running java on something more powerful than Nios.
