EclipseME and Nokia SDK Config

Wednesday, September 19th, 2007

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the J2ME Midlet shows in the New Project window and its easy to incorrectly assume that the tutorial screenshots are outdated.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

Andy Clarke's Transcending CSS: the fine art of web design has been sitting on my bookshelf for several months and I've finally made the time to read it from end to end. My favourite thing about this book from the outset is that it's a designer's book, rather than a technician's manual, for web designers. The artwork and direction in Transcending CSS is enhanced by the attention to detail in the feel and texture of the book itself, the size of it's pages and the feel of the cover in your hands. It's definately a book that affords the act of being read. Looking forward to it.
