There is an increasingly interresting wiki being build over here:

 http://rt.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Main_Page

.. with all kinds of CONFIG information (including a pointer to 
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RealTime ... :-) as well as RT programming
examples.


Also various RT-news, like this Java related one from IBM:

WebSphere Real Time [...]
 
* Response time measured in milliseconds
* Unique Real Time Garbage Collection technology: Avoids unpredictable
pauses to Java applications for garbage collection
* Ahead-of-Time Compilation: Pre-compile code to achieve better
performance than interpreted compilation and more predictable response
times than Just-in-Time Compilation

http://www.ibm.com/software/webservers/realtime/


So - as far as I can see - the Java language is now aboard as a first
class RT citizen.

Who would have thunk?
