Re: WTF?

Well, that phrase would only make anyway sense if Oracle were in the market of offering

1) An ORACE™-BRAND oracle™ JVM™ (or similar implementation, like an Oracle Dalvik)

2) A potentially complete Java™ 8 language implementation

3) A potentially complete Java™ 8 API implementation (the "java.*" namespace)

for mobile devices in the first place.

Which AFAIK they don't.

There used to be Sun-era rather horrific Java Micro Edition and "Java Limited Configuration" implementations. (CLDC and CDC). I didn't think these are still a thing but Wikipedia says these can still be found on mobiles.

Interestingly As of 22 December 2006, the Java ME source code is licensed under the GNU General Public License, and is released under the project name phoneME. Hmmm... LARRRRAAYYYYYY!

(I remember developing for Java ME generating pages in Wireless Markup Language. Those times were BAD)
