Yup - I was surprised when they told me that was what they were implementing
- like you I had assumed they would go direct to bytecode.  If I recall
correctly, at the time they first did this (some years ago now) there were
some issues with bytecode and it was decided that going direct to Java and
compiling on the target platform would avoid compatibility problems.

You can actually modify the generated Java if you wish - I did it a couple
of time just for fun.  It is surprisingly readable for the most part.
