CFV: New Project: Mobile: JDK Ports to Modern Mobile Platforms

I hereby propose the creation of the Mobile Project with myself (Bob Vandette) as the initial Project Lead and the Porters Group as the sponsoring Group. The Mobile Project will focus on porting the JDK to popular mobile platforms such as iOS, Android, and Windows Mobile. Oracle plans on contributing build system, Hotspot and JDK source changes required to target mobile platforms including the ability to produce static Java runtimes and modifications to the Zero interpreter required for iOS ARM devices. I have been working on Java for over 15 years, focusing on Java SE Embedded and mobile platforms for the last 9 years. The initial Reviewers will include all current Reviewers in the JDK 9 Project plus Gary Adams and Bertrand Delsart, who have in the past contributed significantly to Oracle's embedded Java products. The initial Committers will be the current set of Committers to the JDK 9 Project. Votes are due by 9:00 UTC on Monday 12, October 2015 Only current OpenJDK Members [1] are eligible to vote on this motion. Votes must be cast in the open on the discuss list.
