Java-To-iPhone Porting Software Released

New Zealand based company Innaworks has announced that alcheMo for iPhone, a tool designed to automatically port Java ME-based games to the iPhone, is out of beta testing and ready for developers. The application allows developers specializing in the Java platform to write applications for the iPhone in the platform they're comfortable with. The software uses an optomizing translator to convert J2ME application source code to the equivalent source code for the iPhone, with no further adjustments necessary.

Applications ported with alcheMo are compiled in the standard Xcode toolchain and are linked with alcheMo's run-time library.

alcheMo for iPhone is capable of converting J2ME applications utilizing an extensive subset of Java ME CLDC 1.1 and MIDP 2.0 (including touch screen support) and supports several JSR extension APIs including the JSR-256 mobile sensor API. This automatic translation process is instantaneous, repeatable, and available 24/7 while requiring no iPhone specific experience.

You can learn more about alcheMo on the Innaworks website.
