This project builds ART Java runtime from Android for Mac OS X in Xcode.

Goals

1. Create Mac OS X setup for playing with ART / Jack & Jill

• I would love to experiment with adding new features (like value types) without having to think of how to get them through javac

2. Create embeddable JVM for Mac OS X / iOS

• Runtime for the "extended Java" language above
• RoboVM alternative

The reality however, is that none of those goals are achieved, and the most you can do right now is to run simple apps (like HelloWorld).

Getting started

Prerequisites

1. Mac OS X 10.9+
2. Xcode 6+
3. Android SDK with KitKat (API 19) tools

Building

1. Clone the repo
2. Run ./gyp_generate.py --android-sdk-root <path to the Android SDK>
3. Open projects/xcode/ARTPart.xcworkspace
4. Build out target (32-bit)

Running

• Run testapps-HelloWorld target (32-bit)
• Build and run arbitrary Java files with run_java.py (e.g. ./run_java.py --sources platform/art/test/302-float-conversion --main-class-name Main)
