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the J2ME Midlet shows in the New Project window and its easy to incorrectly assume that the tutorial screenshots are outdated.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.

Currently Reading The Accidental Guerrilla by David Kilcullen

Late last year I watched an address to the Australian National Press Club from counter-terrorism expert and author of The Accidental Guerrilla: Fighting Small Wars in the Midst of a Big One , David Kilcullen. In that address he mentioned the period after World War 2 when, in retrospect, we had wars against colonialisation as countries pushed back against dominating forces. Similarly, when we look back at the current wars we’ll see them as wars against globalisation – people pushing back against the tide of world wide Americanisation and globalised culture. David Kilcullen is there to inform us that what the American government are group-labeling global terrorists are more often than not local insurgents with local concerns. Understanding this crucial point and unraveling the complexity of the enemy is crucial to America's success in the field.
