Running Java bytecode on the Android - Sun JVM on top of DalvikVM

Question

Since both the java implementation (OpenJDK) and Android\'s virtual machine DalvikVM are opensource it must be possible to implement Sun\'s JavaVM on top Google\'s

Answer 1

See http://davy.preuveneers.be/phoneme/ for MIDP, Foundation and Personal Profile jvms for Android ARM apks. (Thank you Davy!!!)

I have repackaged the Foundation jvm for command line use and host it at vkfox.com/android/bin/foundation-jvm.bin for your pleasure. One could use the eclipse compiler in the JavaIDEdroid free app, or the old kopi or kopisusu compilers with this jvm, togeather with the stubbed cdc + foundation jar file from a J2ME jdk for an onboard development system. Using the features of TerminalIDE -- console and sun compiler -- with indicated ref jars would also get you there. This is essentially equivalent to a headless jdk1.4 with the possibility of MIDP or awt graphics.
