Hi All,
Can we run or develop apps for iPhone in Java?
Actually I am a bit confused...
Please bear with me,have a look to these links and answer:-
This is an Open discussion.
All ideas are appreciated.
Thank You All.

A:
Currently, there is no JVM running on the iPhone. This means that the only way you have to develop apps for iPhone in Java is to have a compiler that will compile your java code down to Objective-C code.

The third link is about developing iPhone *web applications*. That is, web sites which you access using MobileSafari.

Might be a little off topic, but I can't help adding this remark: I wonder what is going to happen to Apple in, say, 2-3 years with Android rapidly gaining more and more ground ...

A:
I would say: No
If you want to create "real" native iPhone applications you will have to go with Objective C and the iPhone SDK
There are other ways like http://phonegap.com/ but I personally have no experience with this project.

A:
there is an implementation of a java virtual machine called "Classpath", but the drawback is that you may only get it using Cydia/Installer.
Means, you need to jailbreak your iphone in order to be able to install the JVM.
the gui can be designed like an AWT-Gui.
in general: no solution (apple does not allow applications that run other applications on their devices)
if you don't mind hacking the devices your application is deployed to: yes, there shouldn't be a big problem. there is a large amount of tutorials how to hack your iphone, if you're interested...
EDIT: there is a problem! If you don't have the file libuicaboodle every Java-GUI-App for iPhone is looking for, you won't be able to run the app. Is there anybode who still has this file? Can't find it anywhere anymore :o(

On the other hand, the iphone is pretty useless unless its jailbroken anyway ;-)

Sun found they could port Java to the iPhone, but the SDK license prohibits it. So this is not a technical but a political issue.

At the end what I can conclude is that one can develop iPhone web apps easily with Java. For developing native apps for iPhone in Java one may use alcheMo or XMLVM with a little working.I have no experience in alcheMo or XMLVM but surely looking forward to it.
Thank You All.
