Hello,
I just happened onto these forums while browsing about the Iliad- I'm a Java developer myself, so seeing the activity around Java development on this gadget is very interesting...
I'm sure you're all aware that the Tao Group ceased operations back in June and had its assets sold to a private firm:

So clearly, the future development and support of the Intent platform is in question, regardless if iRex wished it to be available for 3rd party developers to use or not.
That being said, the continuing proliferation of Linux on Internet appliances and the open source release of Java seems to have reinvigorated Java-on-Linux efforts. I wonder if anyone has evaluated the possibility of running any of the following on the Iliad:
http://jalimo.org/
http://midpath.thenesis.org/
Perhaps it could provide a better path to open Java development on the Iliad? Best of luck...
