		CodeGlitch on Oct 10, 2013 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: If Java Is Dying, It Sure Looks Awfully Healthy I don't agree that something isn't Java if it doesn't run on Oracle's JVM.

I didn't mention the word Oracle. Kaffe is still a JVM! It runs java applications unchanged.

Dalvik is not. It can't run java classes compiled with a regular java compiler
