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the J2ME Midlet shows in the New Project window and its easy to incorrectly assume that the tutorial screenshots are outdated.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

Ansel Adams: The Camera

As the first of three parts of Ansel Adams Photography Series, Ansel Adams: The Camera begins by discussing the idea of visualisation in relation to photography. Ansel Adams is a master of his craft; this series has sat on my backburner for some time. Book 2 in this series is The Negative and it's followed up by The Print. In them Ansel outlines his philosophy of photography rather than trying to lay down a set of rules. This first instalment is a technical book that explains the good old fashion film camera.
