GNUstep.org 
Official site of GNUstep: free implementation of NeXTStep/OpenStep specification.
leJOS 
Tiny Java OS for Lego RCX brick. Like its predecessor TinyVM, has tiny Java runtime, under 32K; works as replacement firmware for Lego; Hitachi H8300 processor. To be ported to more small devices. [Open Source, Mozilla]
JNode 
Goals: all Java OS, flat memory model, for personal use, simple to use and install, any Java applications to run on it fast and safe. Descriptions, documents, screenshots, downloads. [Open Source, LGPL]
x-kernel 
Object-based framework to implement network protocols; defines an interface that protocols use to invoke operations on one another (i.e., to send messages to and receive messages from adjacent protocols) and a collection of libraries to manipulate messages, participant addresses, events, associative memory tables (maps), and threads.
JX Group 
JX OS: set of Java components executes on core doing system initialization, CPU context switching, low-level domain management; code organized as components loaded into domains, verified, translated to native code; protection based on only type safety of intermediate (byte)code. [Open Source]
The Evolution of OS Design 
Object Operating System, OOS, pronounced ooze; goal: create new OS architecture, which uses filesystem to do many jobs usually done via various means. Design philosophy inspired by Unix, Plan 9, but does many things uniquely, trades compatibility for simplicity. [Freshmeat]
AtomsNet 
Modular object-oriented application to index files across networks. Consists of plug-in type data retrieval system, webserver, peer-to-peer connections for network-wide information gathering, retrieval; has features of OSs, database management systems, distributed networking. [Open Source, GPL]
ROME 
Lightweight, very modular component-based, multitasking, embedded OS; developed, used for many research projects. Goal: manage fast data streams in multimedia environments; for speed and low overhead has zero copy architecture: passes pointer references to data instead of copying it. [Open Source, GPL]
Sanos 
Minimal OS kernel for PC based server appliances. Lets you run java server applications without need to install host OS, only need normal Java HotSpot VM and Sanos. Description, documents, downloads, manifesto, links, contact. [Open Source, BSD]
RCOSjava 
Tool designed to teach inner workings of operating systems: simple animated simulated OS and hardware coded in Java. RCOS successor.
