Sony Ericsson Java SDK 2.5.0.6 adds support for Sony Ericsson Java Platform 8.5 (JP-8.5) introduced with the Aino™ and Yari™ phones. Aino™ also features a large touch-screen and it is now possible to make applications touch-aware.

Aquajava is now available via www.j2me-dev.com as well! I will post here intresting news from the J2ME developer world. (from various sources)
Currently I’m setting up a new informational website on aquajava.hu. This webpage will provide informations via RSS feeds from different official mobile developer sites. The webpage will refresh itself periodically, so the latest news will be availble everyday about latest devices, J2ME tools, developer tips and so.
Many useful links will be also collected to different JSR APIs, and quick-solution code samples will be published on the site as well.
I’m also planing in the future a small J2ME host system for easier testing on different handsets. The database will be based on WURFL, so it will feature wide and accurate device support thanx to contributing users.
Check back soon to visit the new site!
I have been using Netbeans for nearly 2 years to develop J2ME applications. I have to say the IDE is fantastic, and I am really satisfied with it’s J2ME support, called Mobility. When I have migrated to NetBeans, the 5.0 version was the current release, and as NetBeans is an open source project, it’s webpage should be checked regularly for new updates. About a year ago, NetBeans 6.0 was presented as the follow-up of the 5.x series. I was really excited: new interface, better mobility support, etc… As soon as the first milestone (M9) was released, I have downloaded and installed it, and of course, I have imported my current project from 5.5.1. And after it, the first disappointment has come: the IDE was very slow on my P4 2.8GHZ PC. No problem, I have examined the features, but as the performance was still slow, I have decided to return to 5.5.1 until a newer release of 6.0 will come. As I have reloaded the project to 5.5.1, all the device configurations have lost. They have changed the project configuration without notice, so the project you import to 6.0 won’t be compatible anymore to 5.5.1… Anyway I have to say, for mobile development use only 5.5.1, because it has all the features you need and of course building the application is really fast.
This page is still under construction, but content is uploaded constantly, so check back regularly.
AquaJava team wishes you a Merry Xmas, and a Happy New Year 2008!
