there is an implementation of a java virtual machine called "Classpath", but the drawback is that you may only get it using Cydia/Installer.

Means, you need to jailbreak your iphone in order to be able to install the JVM.

the gui can be designed like an AWT-Gui.

in general: no solution (apple does not allow applications that run other applications on their devices)

if you don't mind hacking the devices your application is deployed to: yes, there shouldn't be a big problem. there is a large amount of tutorials how to hack your iphone, if you're interested...

EDIT: there is a problem! If you don't have the file libuicaboodle every Java-GUI-App for iPhone is looking for, you won't be able to run the app. Is there anybode who still has this file? Can't find it anywhere anymore :o(

At the end what I can conclude is that one can develop iPhone web apps easily with Java. For developing native apps for iPhone in Java one may use alcheMo or XMLVM with a little working.I have no experience in alcheMo or XMLVM but surely looking forward to it.

Thank You All.
