> I am happy to announce that a  full Java "eco system" has been ported 
> to IOS, the operating system powering the popular Iphone and IPad 
> platform. This includes JIT based compilation, a graphical Swing 
> subsystem and a development toolchain. The aim of this Java "eco 
> system" is to deploy essentially unmodified Java applications on the 
> IPhone and IPad - along with software written in the many other 
> languages emerging on the Java virtual machine platform(JVM), such as 
> Scala & Clojure. The significance is that there are many more existing, 
> free Java applications than exist on the IPhone and IPad today. After 
> all, the mantra of Java has always been "compile once, run anywhere."

> 
> 1) JIT compilation of byte-code
> 
> 2) Graphical capabilities via Swing/AWT

This smacks of shitting in one's own bed.
