JVM for PDA's

Thread view:

Mike - 23 Mar 2004 15:29 GMT

I am evaluating Java as a possible fit for a software project. Among
other platforms, it must target PDA's as well. What packages might I
expect in support of such an application? At a minimum, I believe I
need file I/O, graphics, threading, and networking (TCP/IP sockets,
FTP, etc).

Best regards,
Michael Powell

Look for waba (http://www.wabasoft.com?) and superwaba.

I have put together a brief summary on available JVM's for PDA's:

Correction: you put together a list of JVM's that implement the
PersonalJava and J2ME CDC specifications, and which run on PocketPC.

This leaves out MIDP, SuperWaba (currently the most robust and flexible
JVM available for PDAs), and all Palm-based PDAs (i.e., the majority of
PDAs).

That being said, thanks for the list, and the effort involved in
compiling it.
