Did anyone try to compile Zope with JPython?
Nope, and it would require large amounts of C code be ported from the rather easy CPython/C interface to JNI, which is to be kind, baroque and obtuse.
It would be silly to use C code in a Java port. We have to port the C code to Java code is it impossible or not efficient to implement the C parts in Java?
If someone wishes to do this, we certainly wouldn't stop them, but it's not a strategic direction for us at this point, and therefore we have no resources to dedicate to it.
