I, like Kekoa, believe that the endeavor you are about to undertake may transcend
the limits of feasability.  There is not a lot of room to play around with inside
the RCX, and Java was developed in an age where memory limitations were largely
being looked at as superfluous on account of ever-diminishing memory costs.  I
believe that it may make a JVM for the RCX impossible, or at the very least
impractical.  I'd like to be proven wrong, of course.

Remember that Java's origins came from Oak, which was intended to operate
a Universal remote control.  JVM runs on many very tiny computers, and I am
certain that a large subset of Java can be made to fit on the RCX and be a
usable product.
