Have you tried ikvm?  Rhino runs with it successfully, so it must be
fairly complete.  I haven't tried anything more demanding, though.

One nice thing about ikvm is that it's a JIT (or rather, uses a JIT,
either Mono or .NET).  This means that in use, it is much more similar to
other Java implementations.
