Dalvik isn't a JVM. It's a virtual machine for which someone has written a compiler from JVM bytecode to its native bytecode.

- stormbrew 13y agoI think this is more of a legal convenience than anything else. It probably would be an extended JVM if Google weren't concerned about Sun/Oracle's litigious nature when it comes to extending the JVM. Really it's a VM that runs JVM code, even though it needs an extra translation step. It's not like there's anything else that targets it afaik.
