[CheckBox] Gaming: Java Games on Microsoft XBox

This could be an interesting step for Sun/Java. I'm glad that Sun is taking it's gaming community seriously and is trying to support us with additional APIs and contests and things like that. That is one reason I became interested in Java in the first place.

...... rat-farts.

Hello. I would like to introduce myself to this supportive community! My name is Khathis, and I love Java (both kinds). I came from C++ and began learning Java recently.

I am well aware that game programming is the hardest task to accomplish comparative to other programming applications and systems.

I did have one question:
Is there any way to program games in Java for use as prototypes or full games on console systems? I am very heavily intrigued by the new E3 announcements of the PSP and the Nintendo DS. While I am aware that Java is a portable language, how portable is it?
Is there anyway that this task can be completed either through the use of extraneous tools or software?

Thanks for any thoughts!
