As soon as I end the thesis I was full-time employed at DAVE.

Unfortunately I had no more time after the thesis to work on Wonka, but the
last time I run it on my board it was working with some of my test
applications.
As I previously sayd I've also run some benchmark for academic purpose like
jMocha suite (from IBM, not all the tests), LinPack & SciMark 2.0 and they
all complete successfully on both JVM.

I feel proud to contribute to Wonka port on eCos.
I think the best way to do it is to create a patch from the JVM version I
was working on agains the original one and let someone to do the rest.

Again: at the moment I have not so much time to spend on it but I will give
you support whenever I can.
