Re: c => java bytecode
You can see the point, as it (hopefully) allows to to distribute x-platform binaries (admittedly dependent on a JVM) whilst still coding in C (if C floats your boat!)

Re: c => java bytecode
I like to think of the fact that you can recompile existing C code (mature projects) into java bytecode... hell... you might be able to compile gcc into bytecode...
you can directly compile pieces of apache if you want a mature web server...
hell, with the bytecode disassemblers, you can use this to convert C to java pretty easilly...

Re: c => java bytecode
I doubt that it is this easy or successfull. I could imagine that it either puts a great overhead on top of your programm, that certain tricks of c aren't able to compile and that programms also may behave in another way (just think of garbage collection).
but there are others c=>bytecode compilers out there, more tailored to the features of c.
