No, the device isn't a x86 platform. The Nokia 770 is an ARM Linux
platform (Ti OMAP 1710). Unfortunately, the device is not delivered with
a Java VM even though the Ti OMAP ARM Core AFAIK supports Jazelle which
would make it a good platform for Java.
On the Maemo roadmap (http://www.maemo.org/platform/docs/roadmap.html )
Java bindings are on the ToDo list. Maybe there is hope, that future
Software releases for the device includes a JVM.
With JamVM, there is also a early port of a free Java VM available. See
http://jamvm.sourceforge.net/ It seems this JVM is only an interpreter
and not a Jit Compiler. I don't know, if JamVM implements the JVM good
enough to run eSWT/eRCP but maybe it would be worth a try.

Indeed the GUI of the device is based on Gtk 2.6, with some extensions
called Hildon, and X11 with Matchbox Window Manager. I think that should
it make relatively easy to port the Linux Gtk SWT version to it and
implement eSWT/eRCP on it, once a Java VM is available.
