it should work, although it will not support ARMs Jazelle. To my knowledge
there is no JVM, which supports it.

yes, see: http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/GPCP/message/565
maybe you should inquire for the current state

And it may be worth to ask directly at ETHZ (e.g. Felix Friedrich) if there
are any plans to have an ARM backend for FOX (the Flexible Oberon Cross
Compiler), which supports the instruction set used in the Raspberry Pi.
As far as I know, there is currently only a backend for PACO (the Parallel
Compiler).

I would also love to see more of the Oberon world in the Raspberryworld.
