No. Even if there were a JRE on iOS, it's pretty unlikely that Apple would approve applications written in Java in the app store since they have been a very clearly hostile opponent of Java since day one (well, day two if you exclude the dance that Steve Jobs once did at JavaOne to promise to make MacOS the best Java environment available. Ironically, it actually happened, even though he killed the initiative). > You are also right that we are off topic: a new Java IDE that is built > from the ground up for development inside of Android sounds amazing. > Really? I'm genuinely curious, I really don't understand the excitement. What does a developer gain by developing on the device instead of developing on a real computer with a real IDE and uploading the application on the device (which takes an extra thirty seconds)? -- Cédric -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
