Correct, OpenMoko uses the CacaoVM with GNUClasspath for Java - although it is primarily not a Java device. Android is running the DarvickVM which is not actually Java, and runs a Java syntax on top of it. Though the code is compatible, byte code is not, so binary packages for OpenMoko or Android will not run on each other. Thus the two stacks need to be side by side, or you need to rebuild all the packages from one for the other.
