It does say it won't work and I gave it a quick test and I got an error
message so that's pretty conclusive evidence!

J-Phone's Java implementation is compliant with MIDP. The JOCL (J-Phone
Original Class Library) is simply an extension to MIDP. It provides
extra features that MIDP doesn't provide that J-Phone consider would be
useful. So someone developing for J-Phone could use features from both
MIDP and the JOCL.

They probably don't have permission from J-Phone!
