Yes.  Most of what you want has been done within Kaffe
(http://www.kaffe.org).  There is no AWT support, however.

You'd need to glue the Kaffe AWT to the OSKit's display support.  

To build a real OS in Java, you really have to change the way the VM
works (beyond just gluing it to the OSKit).  See some of our papers on
just this subject:
