Forgive me if this has been asked already. The search function here sucks, as with most forums. Sucks hardcore.

Anyway, I'm curious about Java support in Pandora. I've read that newer ARM processors support a sort of 3rd instruction pipeline for native execution of Java bytecode called Jazelle, which apparently runs Java applications at 8x the efficiency of a standard JVM. Is this something Pandora will be supporting? If not, perhaps another build of Java will be available?

If we were going official, an ARM version of Sun's Java is available as recent as 1.4.2. Non-official (and open-sourced), IcedTea using OpenJDK is an option.

Is this info available yet or no?

Aw, I got owned. I didn't think of searching just titles (got a bunch of mostly unrelated threads). Also didn't think of searching "jazelle" :D

Thanks for the links :)
