It would still have to go though Dalvik, since there's no native interface to the hardware the JVM could call directly. MonoDroid keeps a Mono runtime and a Dalvik runtime running at the same time, using an interoperability layer to map C# API's to Dalvik API's. Even if you could succeed in having an OpenJDK instance becoming a client of a Dalvik server, what exactly would you gain from that? Though the Mono runtime has already been proven to outperform* a pre- Gingerbread Dalvik, I'd remain somewhat skeptical that a full-fledged JVM on my phone is a good idea. /Casper * http://www.koushikdutta.com/2009/01/dalvik-vs-mono.html -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
