Make a new hardware design with the a new NIOSII and look all ncry peripherals are there. Then compile the software, ... It should work... but I didn't do it (maybe in a next life I can try).

Also I think the Nios emulation of JAVA Bytecodes is a lot slower then the JOP processor doing the instructions directly. But if you can define enough instruction cache, so the entire emulation routine fits in, it can be rather fast I believe.
