Hello Developers,

I have a question,
Can we develop a J2ME application and deploy it on Windows Mobile?
If so, what is the preferred IDE/JDE to develop J2ME application and what do
i have to do to install the application on windows mobile?
What is the format of the file to install J2ME app on Windows mobile?

Please help me out.
Thank you in advance.

WinMo has no Java VM built-in, so out of the box you cannot use any version
of Java, J2ME or otherwise. There are several third-party vendors who do
have VMs that work under Windows CE and Windows Mobile (Skelmir, SavaJe,
etc). The IDE I presume would be highly dependent on what they support. I
would think Eclipse, but that's just a guess.

Hello Chris,

Thank you for the reply.
If we have a code developed in J2ME for Blackberry device, how much code can
be reused from it to develop a native c++ or .netCF application for WinMo?

Well since Java is not C++ or C#, I'd say not a lot. The general logic and
algorithms will probably port pretty easily, but there is going to be a lot
of work otherwise since the UI paradigm is completely different than
Blackberry as well as the OS object model.

Hello Chris,

One more question.
If I have to develop a client/server application on WinMo with limited UI,
which one will be better native c++ or .Net CF?

Also, If I have huge UI, which one will be better Native c++ or .Net CF?

Can I know the advantages/disadvantages of both.

Prasad.

There is rarely a "better" solution. You can argue valid points on either
side. I'd look at the requirements of each and see which language would
allow me to achieve those in the least amount of time with the skills and
code libraries I have available. I know nothing of your requirements, so
it's impossible to say for certain which way I'd go, and the right answer
for me might not be the right answer for you.

You might want to take a look at SuperWaba. While moving from one device to
another still requires a little work, SuperWaba is a Java IDE(etc.) -- and
it does provide multiple OS support, including Windows Mobile.

Not my cup of tea, but then -- Java isn't tea.
