Re: [xmlvm-users] XMLVM Production Ready?

[Thomas T. <tho...@go...>]

Maybe beside j2objc you might want to have a look at robovm, which is afaik
a llvm-based translator from java=>objc

https://robovm.com/

Oh,..seems it isn't free anymore. But I know the libgdx-guys use it to
'crosscompile' games made with libgdx to objc (or at least 
iOS-compatible stuff)

Might be worth a look...

Have fun.
