Dalvik: how Google routed around Sun's IP-based licensing restrictions on Java ME (Betaversion)Dalvik: how Google routed around Sun's IP-based licensing restrictions on Java ME (Betaversion)
[Press] Posted Nov 13, 2007 16:42 UTC (Tue) by corbet
The Betaversion blog has an interesting discussion on Dalvik, the not-a-Java-VM which will run on Google's Android platform. "So, Android uses the syntax of the Java platform (the Java 'language', if you wish, which is enough to make java programmers feel at home and IDEs to support the editing smoothly) and the java SE class library but not the Java bytecode or the Java virtual machine to execute it on the phone (and, note, Android's implementation of the Java SE class library is, indeed, Apache Harmony's!)"
