Java compiles to native code since version 1.0, only not for free.

All commercial JDKs had this option in one form or the other, and many of them are still around.

If you want to try this for free on open source projects, Excelsior JET is one option.

I'm probably too conservative, but I'd rather use these kinds of things from the actual platform developers. I'm a bit more liberal with libraries, but in general I want the compilers/interpreters from the upstream source. Software has enough bugs as is :)

Commercial JDKs, like from IBM or OEMs for embedded platforms, are the actual platform developers.

Well, there was GCJ, but I think that hurt more than it helped.
