J2ME Polish 1.0

Posted by michael on from the polished-to-a-shine dept.

Reader enough2000 writes "After nine months of intense programming, J2ME Polish 1.0 has now been released on j2mepolish.org. J2ME Polish is a GPL'd suite of tools, of which every one meets a definite need of J2ME developers. It includes an Ant based build tool, an integrated device database, an UI which can be designed using simple CSS-textfiles, a game-engine and a logging framework. I'm the developer of this suite and would like to know your opinions and suggestions for future versions."

    nokia communicators and uiq phones(p800/p900) support personal java.

    the state of the things as it is now is that you don't usually have the liberty of choosing what tools to use since you're not in liberty to choose the target device.. so for anything that can be done in j2me midp, using j2me is best if you want somebody to be able to use the app.

  2. Bad license choice. by MisterFancypants · · Score: 2, Insightful
    There is a good reason why most projects of this type choose the LGPL as their license. Using the GPL will pretty much ensure that this project won't get used by any serious third parties.

    And before anyone flames me, yeah, I realize the guy is free to license his code under whatever license he chooses and I can choose to not use it. In either case, it doesn't really matter to me since I don't program in Java. I'm just noting that he made a somewhat odd choice.
