So yeah, as a technical clarification, it doesn't run Java tokenized code--it recognizes Java LANGUAGE that you type in, but it generates DALVIK (Android) bytecode.
Nobody suggested that it did.

The only suggestion has been that Google need to convert from Java bytecode to Dalvik bytecode, thereby implying that Google don't ship a Java language compiler which is capable of generating Dalvik bytecode directly. Rather, they ship a Java language compiler that generates Java bytecode which is then converted into Dalvik bytecode.

I wonder where Google obtained the Java language compiler and tools they're using?
