Something like this? Blu-Play: An introduction to developers
I just stumbled on this somewhat discouraging bit of history. It’s from a discussion on StackOverflow, from 2014, by someone who wanted to stay anonymous: user430788. The writer claims to have been “Sun’s Java Game technical evangelist and lecturing Java performance programming expert.”
Although you could write a Java game and ship it on Windows, OSX and Linux, there was never a console VM. This was due to total ineptitude in Sun middle management. The few of us working on Java in games actually had deals with Sony no less then 3 times to get a VM on a Playstation and all 3 times Sun middle management killed it.
Worth looking at the full reply.
