Google didn't, Apache did. Google just used Apache Harmony's standard library.
What groups funded/helped with the Apache Harmony project? IBM and *Oracle*.
Now Oracle is suing Google for using the software that *Oracle* helped develop, because they bought the original implementation and want a cut of the Android money.
It would probably be more difficult to run Dalvik bytecode on Mono..NET/Mono is just a direct rip off of Java, so running Java bytecode is pretty trivial (IKVM couldn't have been very difficult to write).
Unlike Java (and thus it's clones), Dalvik is not stack based, it's register based.

Don't worry, they'll make up for it by selling more weapons to North Korea.
That's because in Soviet Russia, terrain avoidance alarm notifies mountain
Does that magically make the .NET platform based around the Java language, Java's tooling and the greater set of Java's libraries (stdlib and beyond)?
If so, genius, you have your answer! Yay!
Thanks for the update, MS Shill!
There is a vm though, you dumb fuck.
And everything about Android is centered around Java: the language, the tooling, the libraries, etc.
Google got sued because they made a lot of money selling a Java platform to consumers.
Which Oracle/Sun failed horribly for years at doing. (Java ME anyone?)
Fuck Oracle!
Wow, my theater is nothing like that.
You might want to try another place.
Anyone who disagrees must be vanquished, heathen!
No one ever suspects.... Anthropogenic Global Warming!
What the fuck are you on about?
Open source is a copyright license where you give anyone a license with certain "open" restrictions.
Oracle is suing google over copyrights on said software.
But the better question is, why is your Slashdot ID so close to Jamestos's?
Don't worry. Uncle Larry has the lawyers working overtime trying to figure out how to sue Google for this.
They did what they did because historically it's been fine to do so.
They used an open source library, created in part by Oracle, to power their mobile phone platform.
Now Oracle is suing them for it.
To be fair, Gosling is a fuck up.

Have some respect, the man just lost his entire porn stash.
That's very true, if you've never used any other IDE before... ever.
While kind of true, Linux is so widely used on public networks that it's easily the most secure out of Mac OSX, Windows and Linux.
That's not to say it's impervious but no one got fired for running Linux. ;)

How exactly is a clone of Java a breath of fresh air?

Mono was so valuable that Novell literally put it in the garbage and let Miguel and co run off with it.

Actually, the proper Redmond way to pronounce it is "C Douche."
Because a douche is what you see, when you see a programming writing software in C#.
This guy is TechNY/Bonch/etc.
No but your power bill surely get high!
