I'll be blunt.  If you must ask, you can't.

Read up on this,

http://www.maxim-ic.com/products/microcontrollers/tini/

"The platform is a combination of the broad-based I/0, a full TCP/IP 
stack, and an extensible Java runtime environment that simplifies 
development of the network connected equipment"

and also this
http://www.parallax.com/javelin/index.asp

and this is not Java, but could be more interesting :

a code example is here

Not directly.

My java is *way* rusty but ... you might
take a look at the "javah" tool, which is used
to generate C/C++ header files and stubs based
on a java class file.

This is, of course, getting way off-topic for comp.lang.c.  I'm sure 
there is an "embedded Java" newsgroup out there, and Google returns a 
sick amount of hits for that phrase.

However, it may be instructive to consider that implementing embedded 
systems does not have to be all bare-metal bit-banging.  There is a 
relatively long tradition of interpreted byte-code slinging in the 
embedded world.

It really depends on your application and deployment.

Is there any C syntax extension that support multi-thread like Java
syntax?
or how can I use  C Macro to hide the OS routine call in C program?

I don't like the style:
fun(...)
{
p();
.
.
.
v();
}

I want to use
syn fun(...)
{
.
.
.
}


another question is how to disable "goto", can I write #define goto
error("no goto")

No.

What makes you think you need to do that, or that OS routine calls would 
even exist in an embedded systems?

It appears to have nothing to do with C <ot>nor with Java</ot>.

No.

Do a web search for "JNI java".  It's a bloody pain in the posterior.
As far as I can see, you have no C questions whatsoever in your post.
Probably, Java questions go better in a Java group.

What has Microsoft's proprietary closed nonsense got to do with Java?
Or, for that matter, embedded programming?
