Getting an IDE for Java Micro edition?

[MrPeds]

Hi,

I have a small amount of Java experience writing network code as well as some basic userinterface coding but would like to have a play with Java Micro edition for things like Mobile phones and PDA's.

Can anybody suggest a free IDE that supports the latest Micro edition and possibly a combined emulator? Alternatively, an IDE that can use an external emulator would be nice.

Regards,

MrPeds

Hi, MrPeds.

I recommend to use Borland JBuilder 9. There are better
IDEs around, but this one has very good J2ME support.
The "Personal" edition is free. Download it at

http://www.borland.com/jbuilder/personal/index.html

Check the manufacturer web pages to get SDKs for
their devices. You find a 'reference' toolkit (that
supports MIDP-2 and includes an emulator) here:

Hope this help.

Regards,
Ralf
