Well, it seems you didn't understand the point. The discussion is about _directly_ compiling Java into native code, not getting the bytecode as the result of HotSpot or such during execution - this makes a huge difference for licensing issues with the iPhone (the former approach is allowed by Apple, the latter is forbidden). -- Fabrizio Giudici - Java Architect, Project Manager Tidalwave s.a.s. - "We make Java work.
