Oracle Gets Java Running on iOS Devices. This might have been hidden somewhere between the lines, but you can now run Java on iOS devices.
Oracle found a solution for the "iOS can't run Java" problem, and released it in the new Oracle ADF Mobile solution. This enables you to use Java to write the logic layer of on-device applications that run on iOS devices such as iPads and iPhones (oh, and the same code and application will also run on Android devices). Oracle ADF Mobile uses a native container that runs applications on both iOS and Android from a single source base. One part of that native container is a headless/lightweight JVM. Una tazza di caffé. Despite it has been a quite calm period, at least blogging wise, it has been a quite productive period for us on a number of projects, and the news today that Amazon is taking out support from their iPad application to run a pure HTML 5 application for its eBook reader makes me feel that it‘s time to disclose some of our plans to the World.
The first idea came some time ago, when we wanted to run a bunch of Java apps on the iPad, and we were trying to figure out an allowed (as in term of use) way to do it. This way came finally, with the help of a good friend, Clemens Eisserer, and as of today, we are able to run Java applications on the ipad, without the need to use any hack and any jailbroken device. Here is the mandatory Java2Demo screenshot (taked directly from the iPad): TestiPhone.com - iPhone Application Web Based Simulator.
