In my opinion, the most important thing is to recreate cldc and midp
modules that were removed from original project. This should be a
first point in TODO list.

Having that job done, it would be possible to use Java ME on top of
Harmony existing implementation.

Then, probably it is time to make some decisions how to integrate
codebase with Harmony. I don't know what are the plans of making
Harmony less Java SE oriented and provide other profiles as well like
CDC/CLDC.
