.NET Forum / Languages / Visual J# / June 2004.NET and Java
Hi, I have just bought a Motorola V525 mobile phone, which has Java software written using the J2ME SDK. Does .NET have any way of working with the J2ME SDK? I know very little about Java anyway (it has not really interested me before). I would like to write basic games and applications which I can then use on the phone, possibly using the Bluetooth connectivity to talk to my main PC. Thank you for any help that you may be able to give.... John Young You bought the wrong phone if you want to use .net. =:o) I have never written any applications for J2ME, but I have spoken to other J2ME developers. They say it's complicated (I don't know if it's complicated or not.). You have to write over(?) 5 source files for a basic "Hello World" example. http://java.sun.com/j2me/ I know Motorola is very good at developer support, and have excellent developer programs (when their site is working). http://www.motorola.com/content/0,,1989,00.html http://promo.motorola.com/bluetooth/index.html J2ME has a client web service API. http://java.sun.com/products/wsa/ (You can always do a low level socket connection from your phone to a .net system too.) Lars-Inge T?nnessen www.larsinge.com Yup, I guess so... Apparently Borland have Mobile Studio which is supposed to make it easier !!! Hmmm, looks like I'm gonna have to buy a Smartphone instead.. Thanks for the links, at least I can now read up on it... Thanks again...

Thanks for the links, at least I can now read up on it... I think mobile studio is for C++, I may be wrong though... also checkout Waba (a cut down Java), which may be running on some phones ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ George Birbilis <birbilis@kagi.com> [MVP J#] [9880] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + QuickTime VCL and ActiveX controls (for PowerPoint/VB/Delphi etc.) + Plugs VCL and ActiveX controls (InterProcess/Internet communication) + TransFormations, VB6 forms to ASP.net WebForms convertion http://www.kagi.com/birbilis + Robotics http://www.mech.upatras.gr/~robgroup ........................................................................ While it's probably true that you bought the wrong phone if you want to use .NET it's not complicated to use J2ME and it certainly does not require 5 source files to write a Hello World program, just one. There is a lot of information available regarding J2ME. You can start with http://java.sun.com/j2me/index.jsp. You'll find out that it's just Java code using different API's, not difficult at all.
