Toba: http://www.cs.arizona.edu/sumatra/toba/doc/index.html
"Toba translates Java class files into C source code. This allows
the construction of directly executable programs that avoid the overhead
of interpretation. Toba deals with stand-alone applications, not applets. 

Toba actually reads Java class files, the object code files produced by
the Java compiler for an abstract "Java virtual machine" (JVM). The
generated code is designed not for human readability (although that's not
impossible) but rather for easy optimization by a reasonably clever C
compiler. Translation of a class file yields a .c file and a .h file.
Each .c file references its own .h file and also the .h files of other
classes referenced by the class file. 

Toba 1.1 supports the JDK 1.1 API, and runs under Solaris 2.5 on SPARC
and Linux 2.0 on Intel x86. All platforms have thread and AWT support,
and a JIT compiler is available under Linux/Intel."

Haven't tried out, but intend to :)
