The patch has not been merged (I don't remember why), but more
importantly, the Java support in Buildroot has been removed in 2012.02.
Nobody was taking care of it, so we marked it deprecated a few releases
ago, no-one stepped up to maintain it, so it has finally been removed.

If you are interested in bringing the Java/jamvm support in Buildroot
up-to-date, we would definitely be interested by your patches.

Best regards,

Thomas
