Best version of java to use?

[ChrisMacPherson]

Hello,

I am starting a project which is going to run on a PDA system, will recieve GPS data and communicate with a MySQL database through a wireless network.

It doesn't necessarily have to do both of those at the same time. Would that be a problem though?

My main issue is what version of java to use, J2SE, J2ME(CRC/CLDC/MIDP)

I guess J2ME would be the obvious choice as its for micro devices, but how about writing an applet in J2SE, would that support what I need also?

Thanks for any advice...

Well if you are developing for a PDA I believe your only choice is J2ME.

Thanks for the reply, do you think using CDC which I read is aimed at mobile devices with around 512k memory will restrict the kind of functionality that I intend to implement? Would CLDC be any better?

No idea ... never used J2ME ... I suggest you read the docs and spec at java.sun.com
