JavaFX8 on iPhone! It works!

[John C. Turnbull]

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.

Maybe there is a AOT based JavaVM from http://www.excelsior-usa.com/
available soon for iOS...

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.

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.
