Yes (once THandle is added to the JVM RTL and it is defined to Pointer  
or JLObject, at least :). It's generally a PrintStream: http://download.oracle.com/javase/1,5.0/docs/api/java/lang/System.html#out

There is however some functionality (e.g. writestr with ansistring)  
that uses the UserData byte array to store a pointer, which won't work  
on the JVM target. Some extra classes will also have to be moved from  
the jdk15 unit to the system unit to implement the functionality.
