IIRC, RoboVM is being dropped. No further development work. I could be wrong though, I'm half remembering it being discussed on a Reddit AMA with Miguel de Icaza.

EDIT: It wasn't in the AMA after all, but it has been dropped:

Perfect, so open source it so the community can continue, it's still #1 for the moment and libGDX might be better served by it than intel

Why would Microsoft open source a direct competitor to the Xamarin .NET platform?

The best option you're likely to get is to build on top of the older open-source RoboVM release:
