EclipseME and Nokia SDK Config

If anyone is doing KXA355 Mobile and Ubiquitous Computing at the University of Tasmania in Semester 2 and configuring the EclipseME plugin and the Nokia SDK Plugin in the Eclipse IDE I have some helpful tips to pass on. Assignment 2 requires you to develop within the Nokia SDK and this is covered in tutorial papers. Nevertheless I ran into a few issues which I thought might be useful if you’re configuring on your home computer.

1) When creating a project in Eclipse don’t use J2ME Midlet Suite but instead use MIDP Project (Nokia SDK Plugin) like the tutorial says - the Nokia SDK plugin wasn’t showing in the list only because it wasn’t correctly installed and configured

2) When running midlets don’t use the Wireless Toolkit Emulator (if you have it installed) but use the Nokia SDK Plugin

3) And if, when you get all that done and click run, it gives a big red error saying it can’t run the emulator then go into properties and change the version of Java support to 1.4

Big Tip: If the Nokia SDK Plugin isn’t correctly installed then only the J2ME Midlet shows in the New Project window and its easy to incorrectly assume that the tutorial screenshots are outdated. You really need to work within the Nokia environment for this assignment to work.

An icon for overweight middle aged bogun-geek web designers. A lego block in a Meccano world. A synergy of tattoos, memories of bare knuckle fist fights, and old episodes of Star Trek. My name is Steven Clark and I'm a highly opinionated web designer with a few good ideas. I'm too old for fist fights.

Here Comes Everybody by Clay Shirky (cover)

Clay Shirky's Here Comes Everybody: The Power of Organizing without Organizations has been on my bookshelf for the last few months literally screaming to be read. In fact, I'm wondering how I got so sidetracked to have reached the end of the year without having consumed it. The message of the book is an area of my own fascination, the effects that our new technologies have on the way we relate to each other, and how we're now empowered in ways that were historically unheard of (or not even conceived of) not too long ago.

I'm a small town boy who grew up in the seventies, graduating high school in 1979. The world was slower - how did we survive without Wikipedia? Without MSN or Facebook? Nowdays we have flashmobbing and blogging and constant connection.
