Cool, it would be interesting to know how this differs from MochaLua, LuaJ or Kahlua (did I miss any other pure Java implementations of Lua?)

I looked through the code briefly and found this interesting piece of code:
  private static final Slot SPARE_SLOT = new Slot();
which is later on mutated in the code.
It seems like this implies that you can not run more than one Lua state at once, is that correct?

Ravenbrook Limited and Nokia Corporation are pleased to announce the open source project Jill:

jillcode.googlecode.com

Jill (Java Implementation of Lua Language) is a complete implementation of Lua 5.1 in pure Java.  It is intended to be used on mobile platforms, JME, but also runs on JSE.  The source code is owned by Nokia and made available under an open source licence (see below).  Jill was originally written by Ravenbrook (under contract to a different company) and we will manage the open source project at jillcode.googlecode.com.
