Okay this migh sound like a stupid question but I had to ask it.
In the interest in time and energy I was considering the possibility of programming my 8051 for 2 projects for 2 classes using JVM. Mainly because my Microcontrollers class has failed to teach me much. I see that there is a few out there thought the much googled One Eighty Software seems to disapeard I was thinking JStick. I've never actually programmed a complex program on a microcontroller... the most was scrolling text of the national anthem. lol. I know that C/C++ is common but my second project is a group project and I'm the only one who knows anything a bout C, since I only took one class in it and the other 3 programming classes were in Java so it's what I'm most comfortable with not being a CS person. which you can probably tell from my rocky wording.
The question is really basic, what are the limitations of using a JVM on a microcontroller, is the code. does it really follow the 'compile it once, run it anywhere' motto Sun beams about. no pun intended.
Oh the program I'm writing is really quite simple it's just for basic user inputs for a automated coffemaker that is my senior project. The group project is inventory detection and user selection programs for a Vending machine... yes I have an unhealthy obsession with appliances.
thnx in advance
