Re: AOT. At the JVMLS summit there was a talk on a HotSpot AOT compiler mode. It's being worked on, however, as a commercial feature. RoboVM provides an AOT compiler for iOS.

Donald, do you know if the iOS version has the JIT compiler? I know Apple reduced the restriction for some cases, but I can’t remember if it applied to us or not. Or is the VM on iOS interpreter only? Richard > On Oct 7, 2015, at 2:21 PM, Donald Smith wrote: > > There is no "official JDKs fo

There is no "official JDKs for iOS and Android", and anyone that tries to spin the recent OpenJDK project announcement as such is likely just trying to consume you as click-bait. The recent project announcement is simply to make internal code we have for some of our other commercial products

I recall reading that these JDKs won't include any UI components. Since iOS doesn't support JIT, the iOS port of JDK will certainly be AOT compiling. On Wed, Oct 7, 2015 at 2:11 PM, Felix Bembrick wrote: > The world of Java and JavaFX is growing more confusing than ever it seems. > > Some say O

The world of Java and JavaFX is growing more confusing than ever it seems. Some say Oracle is cutting back on funding for Java because it is effectively helping its competitors. Sounds similar to Google forking WebKit so they weren't writing code for Apple. But now we hear of the looming releas
