No. This is not going to be a thread debating the virtues of Java
versus Lisp. Well at least I won't bring up that topic, I don't know
about other idiots.

I'm interested in knowing if there is a version of Lisp that compiles
to  JVM bytecode.

There's kawa, which is Scheme which compiles to Java byte code, but that
risks starting a thread about whether Scheme is a Lisp.   You can find
it on http://www.gnu.org/software/kawa/

I've been playing with this and have been quite impressed.  Its native
mode is Scheme, but the author intends to move in the direction of
Common Lisp as well, and has already thrown in stuff like a near-CL
implementation of format.
