Tobi, I have speaking with Excelsior for some time trying to encourage them to release a Java AOT compiler for mobile and tablet platforms but they have indicated to me that such a compiler is not on their roadmap at present. Their current focus is on release a stable 64-bit compiler for Windows (and Linux) and the simply do not have the resources to produce an iOS or Android compiler.

We've prototyped on all kinds of VMs including the CVM used with ADF mobile and a hacked up Java SE embedded 7. It's a long way from prototype to product and as I mentioned on my blog we have not announced any plan around SE embedded VM on iOS / Android. But at least we know that our port of fx was (mostly) functional and could be successful. > > On Jul 5, 2013, at 12:44 PM, Tobias Bley <t...@ultramixer.com> wrote: > >> Richard, the question is: Has Oracle a hidden Java8 VM for Android and iOS?

It looks like, because the iOS one is so closely related to the Mac build, it was the easiest one to get a build for the open community. We're working on the Android build scripts. The situation on Android is exactly the same as iOS -- we're open sourcing the library code, but not a Java 8 VM. I would expect that if the iOS build on RoboVM works, that the Android build for RoboVM would also work, but I haven't tried it. >>> >>> Richard >>> >>> On Jul 5, 2013, at 5:07 AM, Daniel Zwolenski <zon...@gmail.com> wrote: >>> >>>> Thanks Niklas - sounds like there's still a bit to do. >>>> >>>> I'm still a bit confused though, I thought the JFX team were/are giving us a version of jfx that is specifically designed to work on Android but it sounds like that's pretty far from the actuality?
