Java Runtime Environment (JRE) for iPad 2

My company Apogee Software Inc. markets Java Runtime Environments (JREs) based on IBM's J9 Java VM (please see http://www.apogee.com/products/cjre). Would it make any sense to create a JRE that would run on iPad 2 on "top of" iOS, thus allowing iPad to directly execute JAR files of any Java applications? George Malek, CEO of Apogee.

iPad 2, iOS 6

Absolutely not as you can't create a runtime environment that riuns on top of iOS.

Forget about it.

All you can do is write standalone apps that are entirely self-contained.
