The OS is what actually runs the Java. Java enabled phones have high level OS functions written in Java, however their base level OS functionality is not in Java, by definition. You cannot run Java outside some sort of OS that is already in place.

Java code is not natively compiled and therefore MUST run on a virtual machine.
