![]() ![]() Almog’s second claim regarding RoboVM was partially correct, as RoboVM was acquired by Xamarin, who was acquired by Microsoft, and integrated into the Visual Studio stack. In 2016, Redmonk identified that saying "Java is dead," is dead. That claim follows a similar path where technologists and reporters have made careers out of claiming that Java is dead ( it isn’t). Gluon’s new release comes approximately two years after Shai Almog, CEO of Codename One, stated that " Gluon is dead as RoboVM is." RoboVM was a similar project that ran JavaFX across mobile. They are each options, and within Gluon’s stack, the choices favor AOT. For server-based applications, Andrew Dinn has a technical analysis of why AOT is not necessarily faster than JIT. Unlike a typical Java application on a desktop or server, the iOS and Android applications are completely Ahead of Time (AOT) compiled, native, and do not use bytecode or Just In Time (JIT) compilation.ĪOT compilation is used to provide direct access to the device and faster startup time. When combined through the javafxmobile plugin, the end result for iOS and Android is a native application in binary form. GraalVM in native mode provides the key runtime that is built for the target platform.OpenJFX is the graphical framework for user interaction, available for all target platforms.OpenJDK libraries are brought in as static libraries compiled for the target platform.For running on iOS, Gluon's suite of tools includes a few notable aspects that are automated through a build pipeline: Gluon has also pushed for mobile Java since Java 9. The toolchain expands on work done in 2015 by José Perada and Bruno Borges who produced a JavaFX game for Android called 2048FX. As a result, developers can use a language and tools that they already know, managing one codebase per application instead of per device. Gluon has released beta support that enables JavaFX applications to run the same code across PC, Mac, iOS, and Android. ![]()
