I`ve spend half a day to download Jbiulder7 from borland, mobiset3, than rest of the day to download nokia sdk, runtimes for symbian,java 1_4 runtimes etc. It weigh about 300Mb. Than go sleep. Next day I start to install it in proper way whitch consumes me another half of a day.
After dinner, I found on the net tutorial:first steps in creating java midlets "hello" aplication. So I configured Jbuilder to work with nokia sdk, setup emulator as said in tutorial etc. Than I finally sat and start to write my first REAL program ("hello".....) After my brave activity I saved my work and try to compile. :P
And guess what?!
Nothing. :evil:
Message says "java 1_4 required". I`ve installed it before but it still insist to install it. Simply win XP isn`t compatibile with java extentions FROM Sun.

Anyway, Is there any simplier way to write apllication that will say "hello" on the screen, or in fact you have to use cannon to kill fly? 😃

ps. is it strange that for writing 10-50Kb midlet you have to use 300MB programs?

WOW! you went through all that?
I'd really like to help, but i dunno anything about programming, perhaps you can post in the development forums and see what the techno wizards can help you with

Good Luck!

😃
