I fear you mix between ARMJIT provided by IceadTea and ZeroShark provided by OpenJDK.

While IcedTea maintains the ARMJIT within hotspot ported from OpenJDK6, ZeroShark uses LLVM's JIT.

Since ARM support in LLVM's JIT was utterly broken, MCJIT support is required for ZeroShark.
I was working on that but my ARMv7 and my ARMv5 are still crashing - even when I can realize some progress (how quick does it crash ^^).

Dunno if - and if, when - I find some tuits to continue the crash detection and fixing...

Cheers
