Products do exist to get J-code directly from Ada, COBOL, Eiffel, Prolog,
and many others.
For detailed list, and some links, see
http://grunge.cs.tu-berlin.de/~tolk/vmlanguages.html
It also lists several things not clearly covered by the prohibition:
1. Tools that generate Java source from other languages
2. Interpreters that run on a JVM to execute Forth, BASIC,
Smalltalk, etc.
3. J-Code assemblers.
4. Preprocessors that allow features of other (non-Java) languages to be
used in Java programs--including features of C & C++ that the Java
creators intentionally left out for security reasons!
5. Compilers that produce J-code from the sorts of languages
mentioned in (4)
