Thanks for the informative post!
What do you think are the chances of this happening? Alternatively what are the chances of the necessary code being made available so a community effort can proceed?

I totally agree with you!
I could also add for a enterprise customer that already had made strategic decisions about what platform they should use on the server (for example JavaEE) and on the client (for example JavaME), these company usually don't think Maemo devices is choose now, because there is no JavaME support. They think it is to expensive to port already existent JavaME applications and they also have not developers with Qt knowledge.
Java is probably one of the least visible platforms to most people so it leads them to think it's not all that important. Unfortunately Android seems to have brought the perception of Java right back to the 90s if this thread is any indication.

More Apps the better surely. Right now there are two places that those Apps can seriosly bolster the N900 catalog :Java and Flash without asking the developers to make a switch.
Understand Nokias hesitation as Qt is the strategic way forwards, but i cant see either of the above developers making the switch as they have so many other platforms to worry about other than Maemo.

I've been pretty impressed with OpenJDK/IcedTea on the tablets. It is pretty slow, but it is a very complete implementation of Java SE.
I haven't attempted it on the N900, but if it were fast enough, it certainly would be the way to go.
Note that the Debian armel version linked above might be an excellent place to start with a Maemo port.

I have now posted the two brainstorm proposals with the discussed solutions. i'll leave the wiki page as-is for now.
Please vote here for Java ME solutions.
Please vote here for Java SE solutions.
i have kept the options of nokia providing the commercial versions, but dropped the options where nokia ports open implementations.
i also tried to give a little information with the solutions, so people have a picture what they're voting about.
if anyone spots incorrect information or has a new option to offer, feel free to tell me to correct it or to post additional solutions!

Solution #4: Community ports S60 Java Runtime as it is considered to be contributed to Symbian Foundation.

when we have verified this as a possible option, i will add it.

From http://developer.symbian.org/forum/s...ead.php?t=2229
That was at the end of June. Maybe it's changed since then but I can't find any sign of the source code there.
If we are very lucky, Nokia may consider contributing some of this to the Symbian Foundation. However, we'll have to wait and see.
