That is history. I´m not interested in history and history of corporations´
political decisions. I´m interested in knowing what technical hurdles are
there that prevent OpenJDK from running atop Android (if any). Let´s move
forward.

There are pretty good ARM ports of OpenJDK already, so what´s missing?.
What prevents someone from building "OpenJDK for Android/ARM" and offering
it for download so that those who want to run Java SE apps atop Android can
do it?.
