Well, actually, it can.

You can use JavaFXPorts or somethings else. But, JavaFXPorts doesn't provide full support of JavaFX.

No it can't. The ipad cannot run JavaFX, Flash, Silverlight, or Java Applets. Apple has explicitly not allowed these. The basic options are HTML5/Javascript apps on the web or native apps which run on your phone. If you want to run Java on an ipad, the closest you can come is GWT which you can use to write a web app and host on a server. It cannot be installed on the phone as a native app (except perhaps through PhoneGap). The ipad user would then access your app through the web browser.

If you are serious about writing apps for a phone in Java, you should consider Android. You can write Android apps in Java, though again not in JavaFX.

[EDIT]

Apparently this has changed since I first answered this question as seen in this post. It is now possible to run JavaFX on ios.

Not sure this is really relevant to the question, but for anyones information, JavaFX /should/ work on windows mobile. I tried it and failed because of the use of 3rd party libraries that required classes not in "Windows Mobile Java Edition". Damn ms for the toomanyeth time! — James, Aug 04 '10 at 20:35

It can't right now. A couple of days ago, however, at the JavaOne conference, a demo of a JavaFX app running on an iPad was made.

From this article:

Java has been barred from Apple's iOS devices, thanks to Apple's official policy not allowing third-party technologies, such as Flash Player or Java, on the units. But a brief demonstration showed a JavaFX game running on an iPad. This effort effectively puts Java on iOS but is still in a developmental mode. "We want to hear from the community. If this is something you want to see, we're happy to make it a priority," said Nandini Ramani, vice president of development in the Oracle Fusion Middleware Group.
