The OpenJDK community has until Oct. 12 to vote on the proposal to ease development for iOS, Android, and mobile Windows
Oracle is considering ports of the Java Development Kit (JDK) to
support iOS, Android, and the mobile version of Windows, in an effort
that would expand Java's presence in a growing part of the technology
market.
Under the Mobile Project proposal,
Oracle would contribute a build system, the HotSpot JVM, and JDK source
changes to target mobile platforms. The resulting environment could
produce static Java runtimes and modifications to the Zero interpreter
needed for iOS devices. A headless JDK 9-based port is planned.
