I've been studying Java with the Open University and would like to put into practice some of my newfound knowledge on the mobile side of things.
Can anybody help me get started by telling me which configuration I should be using with regard to CLDC/CDC-MIDP, are there any JDK's for the Touch HD etc?
I have tried searching but to no avail so far so would appreciated your help.
Also, is there a decent Java compiler that operates under WM6. As that would be novel to play around with too! I currently use NetBeans on my pc.
Regards
Gary
Java on a mobile device = J2ME
There are plenty of Java VM for Pocket PC (check this thread). I think JBed (found in most blackstone ROM's including stock ones) is the best. It has severe limits but it is the best you can get on blackstone. For developement you can use your PC with Sun WTK 2.5.2 (it is supported by Netbeans).
There are no decent java compilers that run directly on PocketPC.
As your first app can you create a D-Pad in java to run skymobile????

Java ME : JBed or JBlend, choose one of them, both work great.
Java SE (Yes Desktop-class Java): MySaifu - http://www2s.biglobe.ne.jp/~dat/java/project/jvm/index_en.html
As for the JDK part (I mean the javac compiler and other tools), I do not know such a package yet. However, you can make javac work with MySaifu with a tools.jar file copied from standard JDK (1.3 or older probably).
Hope this helps
Java development with JVM for CDC
Thanks for your help guys.
I've managed to ge set up and have managed to create my first Midlet and run it on my Blackstone via JBed. I've used NetBeans 6.7
However, that is CLDC/MIDP, but when I try and install CDC creations JBed will not install it because a Midlet name is missing. Is this because the stock JBed does not support CDC. I have tried to find out but it is not perfectly clear and I will have to pay for a JVM to test my theory out if nobody can advise!
Thanks for help

I'd seriously look at JavaFX, sun released a beta of it the other day.
I really like it, it works well on the HD from my limited testing
http://javafx.com/downloads/windows.jsp
One slight flaw with the current version is that it wants to get network address even when try to search for local jar/jad on storage.
but setting it as default file association gets around that one..
JavaFX
Downloading as I write....
Thanks for your advice I appreciate it. As you may know, as a newcomer to development of JME it is so complicated to get started due to all the configurations so any pointers at this stage are very much appreciated.
Thanks

OK, I have JavaFX installed on my HD and it works and I particularly like the calculator example app included with it. However, I still cannot get my CDC app to install. It says "Cannot install application because critical information is missing from the application file (.jad). I thought CDC used xml files and not JAD for descriptions. Am I wrong or is something to do with my platform/deployment configuration?
I cant see a jad file in the deploy folder either. Is this an error.
Thanks
Gaz
Nope, you still need the JAD descriptor file.
It's plain text file, just find some on the internet, open it with text editor and alter some of the properties in there, it's really easy.
Don't forget to change the path to your JAR archive - the best way is to put there just simple JAR name and copy the JAD to the same directory as JAR.
Thanks Pepcza,
I'll try that, just a thought though, if you still need a descriptor file (in this case .jad) why does'nt the Netbeans deployment process create it along with everything else? It does when creating CLDC platform apps!

JavaFX
I think we should concentrate on this one. Youtube videos are working in bolt browser using Javafx. If only it would be a bit faster, It'll throw Jbed out of the window.
I'm going to start with why, then how.
Why: I use the open source SharpDevelop to write Windows Mobile .NET applications. Some of the managed libraries that are included in Windows Mobile are not usable without the Windows Mobile SDK files. Microsoft's SDK Installer checks for Visual Studio, and if it not installed, will NOT install the SDK.
How: Download the SDK, open a command prompt, cd to where the SDK was downloaded to and type (making appropriate changes):
Code:
msiexec /a "MSI File.msi" /qb TARGETDIR="Full path to target directory"
For example, lets say that the file is called "WM6 SDK.msi" (which it is not), you downloaded it to "C:\WM SDKs\" and you want to extract it to "C:\WM SDKs\WM6 SDK\", you would type:
Code:
cd C:\WM SDKs
msiexec /a "WM6 SDK.msi" /qb TARGETDIR="C:\WM SDKs\WM6 SDK\"
The DLLs you need to add a references in your project will be under a folder called Designtimereferences
Anyone find this useful?
heyy thanks i found this useful...havent tried it yet, but didnt wanna go about downloading and installing VS if i dont want/need to
thanks man

No problem ... Thanks for the feedback.
cool!
Ultracool Man!
thanks for sharing the information .... no doubt it is useful to alot
Interesting! Anyone know if this enables the SDK to work with Visual Studio Express?

I doubt it ... I use SharpDevelop. I have a legal copy of Visual Studio 2003 + 2005, but I use SharpDevelop.
SharpDevelop
Does sharp develop support Compact Framework 3.5?
What are some advantages to using this?
I normally develop with visual Studio 2008 Professional with the Window Mobile 6 SDK.
Wish I would have know about this sooner.
2008 Standard does not support windows mobile development and pro was kind of spendy.
2005 standard supports it.
<slight rant>
Why microsoft? Why would you require pro to make apps, when you need to gain market share. The other platforms are growing because of the availabilty of apps.
</slight rant>
Sharp Develop DOES support CF 3.5, but you need to install .NET CF 3.5 and .NET CF 3.5 Power Toys on the PC to use it ... See Compact Framework on SharpDevelop Wiki.
Hi, guys.
I'm trying to open and modify taskfacade ( http://sourceforge.net/projects/taskfacade/ ) in order to implement some changes and improvements I've got in mind. It's a C# project, but all microsoft IDE's are giving me errors when I try to load the csproj or the sln files.
Can anybody tell me what I can do?
Thanks!
You will require:
Visual Studio 2008 (Standard or above (i.e. not express)) with C# (for the main project) and C++ (for the setup project) installed
Windows Mobile 6 Professional SDK
Note that you can not open up the main project by itself as it has a reference to the setup project. If you can not install the C++ components, try deleting the setup project - the main project will not compile, but at least it will open.
Hi, TehPenguin.
Thanks for your reply. I'll try to install the SDK and follow your suggestions, and I'll tell you.
Hi
i'm playing a lot with VS2010.
and i think this can be good to create a marketplace alternative
to share xda members xap apps.
i'm looking to create this apps but after lots of search i'v not found answer!
Is there a way to install xap from web or from an apps directly on the device like marketplace do?
thx for your answer.
No you cannot. You need the Windows Phone SDK to depoly XAP files.
Hi everyone,
I wondered if we could somehow install Java Apps in CFWs as native Bada apps instead of the current method (where Java Apps ony show up in Games&More and we CFW developers need to find a fitting icon already inside the CFW).
It is possible: The Wave 578 Market has some Java Games from Gameloft, which are installed and show up as regular Bada Apps. When looking at the folder structure of these apps, we find the (dcf encrypted) JAR and JAD file instead of EXE.
Creating something like this ourselves for, f.e., Google Maps, would be easy, safe for one point: signature.xml, which contains (you guessed it) the signature of the file. If it worked out, we could install, f.e. via SHPAPP or PFS patches.
The upsides of this:
Create your own icon for Java Apps.
Uninstallable Java Aps in main menu.
Easy insertion into CFWs (no need to find fitting icons anymore).
So, does anyone know what to do about signature.xml? B. Kubicas DisableBadaIntegrity won't help, right?
