The first beta release of Waba happened back in 1998, over 20 years ago. It is still being used today as a VM reference platform for small and embedded devices.
VeriFone Vx Waba

Waba and JDK 1.4 Compiler
Sun's JDK 1.4 compiler is different from previous Java compilers. Specifically, Sun changed the way fields are referenced in compiled bytecode. This causes the WabaVM to give a 'field not found' error when running programs compiled with the JDK 1.4 compiler. You can use:

javac -target 1.1 ...

when compiling with the JDK 1.4 compiler to fix the problem.
