Re: [apple-iphone] Does iOS support Java?

> I repost this since no one has offered a reply yet. Any suggestions. where to look for an answer or how to phrase a web search?

A very brief web search (for "iOS and Java") found this on WIkipedia:

> Restrictions imposed by iOS Developer Program License
>
> Terms in the iOS Developer Program License were relaxed by Apple in Sept 2010 with regard to using other interpreter languages.
>
> Java
> Apple has not announced any plans to enable Java to run on the iPhone. Sun Microsystems announced plans to release a Java Virtual Machine (JVM) for iOS, based on the Java Platform, Micro Edition version of Java. This would enable Java applications to run on iPhone and iPod Touch.
>
> Soon after the announcement, developers familiar with the SDK's terms of agreement believed that by not allowing 3rd-party applications to run in the background (answer a phone call and still run the application, for example), allowing an application to download code from another source, or allowing an application to interact with a 3rd-party application (Safari with JVM, for example), could hinder development of the JVM without Apple's cooperation.

> It is clear that Java running on the iPhone is outside the bounds of the iOS SDK Agreement. The guideline in question is rule 3.3.2, which reads and which was changed after Sept 2010:
>
>> 3.3.2 — An Application may not itself install or launch other executable code by any means, including without limitation through the use of a plug-in architecture, calling other frameworks, other APIs or otherwise. No interpreted code may be downloaded or used in an Application except for code that is interpreted and run by Apple's Documented APIs and built-in interpreter(s).
