Of course, there's always OPENSTEP/NT or soon-to-be-known-as Rhapsody/NT
or somesuch.  Objective-C runtime, compiler, IDE, and NeXT classes that 
runs on NT.  I'm consulting on a project now that uses this for WebObjects
development for NT, and it's pretty sweet...

Wouldn't a port to Apple/NeXTish Objective-C be a good intermediate
step before embarking on a Java re-write?
