IBM J9 on Pocket PC 2003 Second Edition

Hello,

I am trying to install the IBM J9 JVM on the windows Pocket PC 2003
Second Edition emulator (using the following image file:
PPC_2003_SE_WWE.bin).
I share the following files:
weme-midp20-wm2003-arm_22.CAB (wich come from the following install
file:
weme-wm2003-arm-midp20-5.7.2-P-20050304-1743.exe)

The on the Pocket PC I can acces the cab file, and Install it.
I get the icon (MIDlet HQ) on the Programs menu, but when I launch it I
get this message:
" 'emulator' is not a valid Pocket PC application ".


Any Idea,

Thanks.

PS: If it works the I will install it on a Ipaq H6365

Ok I found the problem, I was using the Windows CE (version 5.3.0.26)
emulator with the image file PPC_2003_SE_WWE.bin.

Now this is a simulator of a Pocket PC and not a true ARM Emulator, I
think that's why I could install the j9 cab file but then could not run
the J9 emulator then.

So I downloaded the new MS emulator wich is a real ARM emulator:

Microsoft Device Emulator 8.0.50727.42

And now on MS website what they provide is the windows mobile 5.0
images,
so u need to find the PPC_2003_SE_WWE_ARMv4.bin image somewhere on the
web,

then u can make a bat file to run all this:
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Device Emulator\1.0\DeviceEmulator.exe"
"c:\your_path_to_the_image\PPC_2003_SE_WWE_ARMv4.bin" /skin "C:\Program
Files\Microsoft Windows Mobile 5.0 MSFP Emulator Images\Pocket_PC.xml"

Now, on this configuration you can install the J9 jvm and it will run,
since now it's a true ARM emulator.

I hope this will help some other people out there who are having the
same
problem.
