I think I understand where we aren't understanding each other. You are thinking, as a traditional, system level JRE, like that on Windows/Mac/Linux, there are no technical problems with JRE/iOS, but instead the issue is that Apple refuses to allow it. I agree, but this isn't terribly relevant. When I say there is a technical barrier preventing JVM apps running on iOS, I mean that technically Oracle or possible another alternate Java VM development entity could do what Adobe and Mono are doing. A Java VM could be embedded inside of an iOS binary, therefore permitting JVM iOS development. This would require technical VM work. Since the Java community hasn't done this, JVM iOS development isn't a current practical reality. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
