Targetting XWiki for mobile devices is one of the objectives of 
the XWiki Concerto RNTL (french's ANR project) project, 
so I am not alone on this ;)

The J2ME configuration (CDC+FP) which I am considering is the rough 
equivalent of a JDK 1.3, with some new classes added but some classes 
missing too. [1]

The VM for CDC configuration (cvm) is a complete implementation of the
java VM, so the main problem here are the missing library classes.

Yet modifying XWiki so it does not uses the missing classes is no 
small step.

Pablo
