- iPAQ 5550 and Java
- Posted by Arto V. Viitanen on September 15th, 2003
HP iPAQ 5550 comes with a JVM. I'd like to make some tiny programs to it, but
what to use for development? I guess there is no JDK for iPAQ, so I'd need
some (free) environment for Windows XP or Java, that can generate code for
the JVM.

If you want to develop on a PC then get yourself:
- recent JDK for your PC OS/platform (a free download from Sun)
- an IDE of your choice (check Google for NetBeans IDE) or any decent text
editor if you so prefer
and you'll be set.
If you are into teaching (as your address might suggest) check the 'bluej'
project too.
Have fun.

Yes, but I guess that is the case: iPAQ does not come with standard class
libraries. I have not tried, but since JDK 1.4.2 classes take over 6MB, it is
quite alot.

I hope, but like I said: is it so? I think Jeode coming with iPAQ 5550 is a
J2ME implementation, and those need some profiles.

It comes with the standard class libraries for JDK 1.1.x. You can use
any Java development environment to come up with your Jar file and then
you simply transfer that to the device and run Jeode on it. Jeode
does a great job of running AWT apps on a handheld. Performance is
acceptable on 200Mhz machine or higher.
No it is not a J2ME implementation; it is a PersonalJava implementation
that is basically equivalent to JDK 1.1.8.
