This is amazing! But question - where is RoboVM? Please release to MIT license so it doesn't waste all of the work done so far.

  IIRC, RoboVM is being dropped. No further development work. I could be wrong though, I'm half remembering it being discussed on a Reddit AMA with Miguel de Icaza. EDIT: It wasn't in the AMA after all, but it has been dropped: http://www.linuxjournal.com/content/death-robovm http://www.linuxjournal.com/content/death-robovm

    Perfect, so open source it so the community can continue, it's still #1 for the moment and libGDX might be better served by it than intel

      Why would Microsoft open source a direct competitor to the Xamarin .NET platform? The best option you're likely to get is to build on top of the older open-source RoboVM release: https://github.com/robovm/robovm https://github.com/robovm/robovm

  If Xamarin is open sourced and RoboVM is dropped, I can only speculate that Microsoft did not want to touch JVM with a 10-foot pole and chose to not entertain Oracle legal. May be I am wrong, but that is one possibility.

  RoboVM was forked, the fork is named BugVM[1], and it's currently maintained. [1] http://bugvm.com/ http://bugvm.com/

    There's quite a bit of work that's been done in RoboVM since that was forked.

      That I'm sure, but the project was only forked 6 months ago, so I'm sure BugVM can catch up, especially given that RoboVM is dead and thus a stationary target at this point.
