I got a reply from Sun about Java SE for ARM. It follows at the end of this post.

The most interesting points for me were 'year end' and 'headless' (I assume meaning no AWT/Swing).

I checked on SWT for fun... no ARM port, but they have versions of SWT that use GTK.

Thank you for your interest in Sun's Java SE for Embedded Use
technology.

The requirements for the embedded JRE for Linux/ARM eval
currently available at our website as a download and which you
tried recently, are as follows:

* ARM9 v5 compatible processor
* Little-endian mode
* Soft-float (big-endian doubles)
* Linux Kernel 2.6.8 or later
* glibc 2.3.2 or later
* ABI is not EABI (EABI support started with gcc 4.1)
* Headless: no support for video/keyboard/mouse

Please not that we expect to have a new JRE for Linux/ARM eval
available by year-end that will support EABI. Please occasionally
check our website within the next few months -- it should appear
on the following page:

I hope the above information has been helpful to you. If you
have any further questions at any time, please don't hesitate to
let us know.
