Creating Kernel that Runs the JVM

Creating Kernel that Runs the JVM

I have been writing Assembly code for quite some time now and I wish to
finally dive into an OS written in Java. Of course Java has its serious
limitations, such as it is unable to access hardware directly. So I wish
to build a kernel in Assembly that can run and support the JVM so Java
applications can be run.
How would I go about doing this? Can someone point me in the right direction.
