Are there any alternatives to RoboVM?

Currently there are several alternatives to RoboVM, all with their own pros and cons.

  • Multi-OS Engine Once started as Migeran, then aquihired by Intel and now OSS again. This provides a complete comparable solution to RoboVM, including a backend for libGDX. The technology stack is quite different, but it's planned to move to a LLVM based solution. Note that the last project update was in Jan 30, 2017, and nobody from the team answers questions on the forums.
  • Gluon VM Announced in June 2016, should provide a JDK 9 based solution for running Java apps on iOS and Android. Not yet available. Currently Gluon Mobile uses this fork for running on iOS, via the javafxports project.
