Can we run or develop apps for iPhone in Java?

Currently, there is no JVM running on the iPhone. This means that the only way you have to develop apps for iPhone in Java is to have a compiler that will compile your java code down to Objective-C code.
There are several solutions that do exactly that:
Codename One – focuses on building applications using Java with visual tools and simulators. Open source with a SaaS backend that removes the need for a Mac.
XMLVM – a translator to convert Java bytecode to C/Objective-C. Open source, but requires writing iOS specific code at the moment.
There are also several proprietary solutions but I have no experience with them. E.g. Software AG has a tool called web objects.
