Will it be possible to run Java Applications on Apple Silicon Macs?

Traffic Control Center Software in Germany is implemented in Java. Many Users of this software prefer to use Macs for these systems. Java SE runs very well on Intel based Macs. Can you give me some hints about the future of Java on Apple Silicon based Macs?

Hi Roland! macOS on Apple Silicon will behave exactly like it does on Intel processors. Without any change, the Java runtime support will run under Rosetta 2 which will translate Intel compiled code to run on Apple Silicon. The Java Virtual Machine will need to be recompiled for Apple Silicon to fully utilize its power, but Java based applications should continue to run as expected on both Intel and Apple Silicon hardware.
