Hello, I saw in a post on Facebook, but not tested: http://web.fastermac.net/~MacPgmr/pba/PbaStatus.html I don't know about.

The JVM compiler is tested, and I've tested it myself as well. I don't use Eclipse though, the Android SDK has enough tools to build the required directory layout and building only requires Ant. This is actually the most native way to build Android apps, but you have to sacrifice some (a lot of?) normal Pascal features and use different syntax in many places. A lot of standard units are missing, and the chance you can reuse existing units is also quite small (depends on how the units are coded).

Patches regarding further language features (though AFAIK one of the few main missing ones is Writeln/Readln) and standard units support are welcomed ;)
