I don't recall that, but since Sun is keeping Java closed, it might be
possible. But seeing as how they agreed to put the stuff in with
Metrowerks, I dunno. Besides, if you're used to developing on
CodeWarrior, it makes sense to just drop in the Java libraries and code
away. Nothing could be easier. Unless you paid someone to do it.
Yikes, that sounded like a commercial.

And since with CodeWarrior you wouldn't be getting *just* Java, but you'd
be getting Pascal, C, C++, and all their utilities, why bother with
anything else? :)
