Java ME 3.0 SDK for Linux?

Question

Is it possible to develop java me applications for linux? There seems to be no Linux version for sdk. Otherwise, what do you suggest as a good language for developing mobile applications?

Answer 1

Use 2.5.2 SDK. In fact, it works fine under Linux.

I would also recommend Android, where Linux is definitely not a second-class citizen.

Answer 2

I was able to install the (earlier version) SDK on a Windows machine, and then copy the appropriate libraries to the Linux development environment. I want the sun to provide all the JDKs in zip / tar format. I'm not interested in installing INSTALL just to get .jar files from the archive. I should note that the SDK includes a mobile device emulator that does not work under Linux, but you just need to use .jars to compile the code.

Answer 3

Otherwise, what would you suggest as a good language for developing mobile applications?

Well, you can still use Java lang. But maybe develop some Android apps.

Answer 4

Sun Java Wireless Toolkit 2.5.2 runs under Unbuntu 6.x, in more detail here: http://java.sun.com/products/sjwtoolkit/download.html

We use WinXP for J2ME and Ubuntu for Android. Although this is more than the preference of encoders than any restrictions.

Answer 5

a virtual box can be very useful for users of OSX and Linux, unfortunately, most emulators and sdks, in particular, converters are designed for Windows in the first place, a vivid example is Blackberry

Our stream, as a rule, is to develop the main part of the application in the std wtk environment, and then perform the final migration and configuration in a virtualized Windows environment.
