In principle if there were a backend for ARM then it would be possible
to prepare bindings and have some part of code written in java, and link
it to the oberon library.
However, even fpc people didn't manage to do that yet, by having pretty
nice ARM backends for pretty long time.
So, I would suggest to try more free platforms, which are not tied well
to some language/platform and where you can develope in whatever
language you want.
Maemo/MeeGo is an example of such a system, like everywhere in the Linux
world it's a complete zoo of technologies and languages: C, C++, Python,
Pascal...
And I was able to write test apps in Oberon (oo2c and Ofront).
So, I would go for a more free platform if you want to stick with the
language.
And even then, programming in Oberon for me means devotion. It's much
easier to start programming with, let's say Python, because there are
already bindings, there are libraries - everything is clear how to do
However, if I want to express thoughts in in a beautiful (clever
designed) language then I am ready to go hard way: prepare bindings
myself, have more control over everything, spend more time in order to
find ways to interface with the underlying system.

Sincerely,

Norayr Chilingarian
