Yes, you heard it right. With a new compiler called GCJ you can compile your java code directly to native code that can be run directly on the underlying machine.
GCJ comes with native implementations of the standard java 1.4 libraries and some of the java 1.5 libraries.
GCJ is still in the development stage and will improve in future.
You can checkout GCJ at http://gcc.gnu.org/java/
Personally, I don't why the GCJ developers are wasting time on this because study shows that Java code is as fast as or exceeds the naative c code performance in many different tests.
