As far as it's known, there's no Java on the N900.

There's however support for Javascript (not the same thing!) in the browser: this may be from where the confusion stems on other sites...

I don't see a reason why java wouldn't be possible on n900, as both java and n900 are open-source to a great degree..(and there also are completely open-source implementations of java)

even the j2me shouldn't be a problem...

and there also are open-source java virtual machine implementations available..

only someone has to get interested and port it... :)

If not exactly java, java-like JALIMO was there for the previous versions of maemo but not sure you can use it in maemo5. I also tried it in my n810 and was able to write programs and execute and this was about a year ago coz I stopped using it from the not-so-good feedback I got about it then. But I'm sure they have improved by now. Check this out: https://wiki.evolvis.org/jalimo/index.php/Maemo

Jalimo is Java (although based on OpenJDK, Classpath etc.). Progress is still slow, although performance is improving.

Is it possible to use j2me apps with Jalimo?

Yes, if you use MicroEmulator.

MicroEmulator is a pure Java implementation of Java ME in Java SE. MicroEmulator is licensed under LGPL so it is possible to link and distribute commercial software with its libraries.
Here is article about this http://ldn.linuxfoundation.org/node/8409
