What do you think of Java 2 Micro Edition?

Hi,
I would like to know, if anyone used the J2ME, and if so, what do you think of it. I am thinking of designing a middleware for mobile devices such as PDA, and I would like to know your thoughts on it.
Thanks
Neil

I haven't used it yet, I am reading about it. I am not sure if you have seen this link:

Good Luck.

  • What do you think of this book: "Programming and Problem Solving with Java"

    Hello Everyone:
    This may be a strange post but I am wondering if anyone has read this book and what do you think of it?
    Book Information
    Title: Programming and Problem Solving with Java
    Authors: Neell Dale, Chip Weens, Mark Headington
    Publisher: Jones & Bartlett
    Thanks for any comments

    No believe me the book is bad! The only reason I asked is I am in a university class that uses those two books for there course. The author messed up on HelloWorld.java with 4 errors at compile time! How can anyone be that stupid since they are the ones who are supposed to be teaching me the fundamentals of Java. Anyhow I just wanted other people's thoughts about the books.
    Thanks again for your input.

    Nice one, can I use it together with my calling them function pointers (which they are of course), the combination will really upset the closure lovers (most of whom don't have a clue as to the damage the addition of the darn things will do to the language).

  • What do you think of my Bash Script? What about the error checking?

    Well what do you think of this Bash script
    It works
    I gave it some problems (i.e. unpluged the ethernet, messed up the URL's, uninstaled some programs...) to see if would report errors and stop or just keep going... But it did
    I just kind of thought up a way to do some error checking with the commands that I know.....
    What is a better way to do error checking?
    What do you think I should add/Do to this script?

    Personally.....  (this is just how I would have written it - if it works, then it's good enough for me though )
    I would change this whole block:
    verify="n"
    while [ "$verify" != y ]
    do
    printf "Do you have mbr installed... yes or no?"
    read AN1
    echo ""
    printf "You answered... $AN1 I have installed mbr. Is this correct... y or n?"
    read verify
    done
    echo ""
    if [ "$AN1" == "no" ]
    then
    echo "Install mbr now. Then run this script agin"
    exit
    else
    echo "contunuing script"
    fi
    To this much shorter code:
    MBR='/usr/bin/install-mbr' # Or where ever you expect it to be
    if [ ! -x $MBR ] ; then
    echo "mbr doesn't appear to be installed."
    echo "If it is installed, check it's location, make sure it's executable and then make sure the MBR variable in this script is correct"
    exit 1
    fi
    I wouldn't have used the checkXX variables for each stage:
    mkdir ~/usbbiosfiles
    if [ $? != 0 ] ; then
    #failed
    echo "Could not \make directory usbbiosfiles"
    echo "look above \for \info"
    echo "Fix the problem and run this scrip agin"
    exit 1
    else
    echo "Made directory usbbiosfiles... OK"
    fi
    There is an issue with the way you do your verifications - the user can never get out unless they answer 'y' or hit CTRL+C. Something like this gives them options:
    verify="n"
    while [ "$verify" != "y" && "$verify" != "n" ]; do
    echo "You need to answer 'y'es or 'n'o"
    read verify
    echo $verify | tr "[:upper:]" "[:lower:]" # This converts the answer to lowercase so replies entered in upper case will still work
    done
    if [ $verify != 'y' ] ; then
    exit 1
    fi
    One last thing I try to do in scripts... Declare all your binaries as variables at the start of the program, then execute the binary program by using the variable. For example:
    # Binaries
    TAR='/bin/tar'
    CP='/bin/cp'
    CHMOD='/bin/chmod'
    # Execute tar and chmod the created file
    $TAR cvzf /tmp/tarfile.tar.gz /etc/*.conf
    $CHMOD 400 /etc/*.conf
    This way, it's easy to change the path in future without having to hunt through the script if the paths change, and it also ensures you're calling the programs using the full paths to make sure you're not executing some strange variant or alias that someone has setup. If I use `chmod` 30 times in a script, and the path changes in the future or on a different system (`chmod` is a bad example cause it's highly unlikely to change, but you know what I mean), then all you need to do is update the variable at the start of the script, and it all works again without having to script-hunt and change it 30 times.

  • Still in a quandary about hardware specs. What do you think?

    I need to build a new system as editing machine for CS4. Everything is more or less clear as to what I need, there are only two issues remaining:
    1. How much RAM to install, and
    2. Disk setup.
    As always there is the balance between performance and costs. Since this is not "an unlimited means available" type of machine, you will not see much esoteric components, like SSD raids or nVidia Quadro CX card. It is a dual E5472 Harpertown system (8 core), running Vista 64 Business.
    1. How much RAM would be a good balance in price/performance? 8 or 16 GB? We are talking about Kingston Value Ram DDR2-6400 ECC FBDIMM, either 4 x 2 GB ( 420) or 4 x 4 GB ( 650), with the possibility to double memory in the future. If you do not make a habit of continuously switching between PP, AE, EN, PS etc. and are mainly using only 1 application at the time, I wonder if there is a noticeable performance gain to justify the additional cost. The choice is obvious if the total cost of the machine would not be stretching available means. So what do you think?
    2. Main storage is 8 x WD Caviar Black 1 TB disks in raid50 for media, renders, scratch etc. But what about the boot disk? Either a 300 GB WD Velociraptor ( 240), or 4 x WD Scorpio (7200 RPM) 160 GB in raid10 ( 250), using on-board ESB2 chipset.
    While we are at it, does it make sense to add 4 x WD Scorpio 250 GB in Raid5 (on an Areca ARC controller with free ports) only for pagefile, projects and temporary export. Final export will be transferred over the network to a burning machine for DVD's. Backups of projects is to external USB disks and on a separate machine over VPN.
    The case has room for 8 hot swappable 3.5" disks and 8 hot swappable 2.5" laptop disks plus another disk and a DVD/BR burner internally. There are still 4 external eSATA ports available for future expansion. Foreseen video card is ATI 4870 512MB. Network is currently a 1 Gb connection, but can be enhanced to 2 Gb with 2 NIC's.
    Look forward to your reactions.

    Bill,
    The case is the
    Supermicro SC743TQ-865SQ
    and the storage bay for the 2.5" disks is the
    Addonics AE4RCS25NSA (2.5 Disk Array 4SA)
    Thanks for your remark about the difficulty of troubleshooting boot arrays. That might be an advantage for the Velociraptor.
    Dag, no. I don't make the mistake of visiting Amsterdam, unless it is absolutely necessary, like visiting the IBC, let alone visiting those bars. I came to realize that Vista has grown up a bit with SP1 and with full support for 64 it now makes a bit more sense than XP64. It does imply a couple of days tweaking Vista (= removing 'features') to make it work decently, but after that is accomplished I will make a slip streamed DVD version for future installs, so that is a one time investment. With recent enhancements in Nullsoft that is easily accomplished, including all intermediate patches and 'Patch Tuesday' versions.

  • Question about Java Micro Edition

    Hello,
    I am interested about writing a program for PDAs. These seem to be running the Java Micro Edition, so I guess this is a good choice. But what about programming the GUI with the j2me? Afaik, it does not support swing, and the specifications are so full of abbreviations that I do not undertand that I really don't know other than to simply ask here about the possibilities of GUI programming with j2me, is there a "standard" gui library for j2me, or is it device-dependant, and is it possible to install the j2me under windows/linux for developing and testing purposes?
    Help please.. ;-)
    Thanks
    Jan

    thx :) J2ME seems to be very interesting. But zeb is right with the post in the discussion thread for this article, "where to start" is an important questions. So please, sun, make it easier for us to us (hobby-)programmers to adopt J2ME..
    I found this one alternatively:

    does anyone have experiences with it?

  • Help in Java Micro Edition SDK 3.0 EA...

    Hi, I am using the Java Micro Edition SDK 3.0 EA version. I have a problem that when i write code to access the RecordStore, it does not seem to work. Plus, for the FileConnection programs, where do i store the accessible file structure on the disk. In WTK, it was under the appdb of the specified emulator, but i dont know the path from where the filesystem is mounted.
    Another problem is that, I want to create a simple Java class in a separate file in the SDK. But, when i right click and select "New" on the project, it only shows options to create MIDlets or MIDlet Canvas files..
    Any help will be highly appreciated. Thanks..:-)

    About the file structure in FileConnection, in NetBeans it is in C:\Documents and Settings\[your user name]\j2mewtk\2.5.2\appdb\root
    You can change the root folder if you go to "manage emulators", then in "tools & extensions", click on "open preferences" and then select "storage". I don't know if SDK 3.0 has it too... sorry... I switched to NetBeans because it has more options...
    About creating a separate file, I always did it manually, adding a .java file to the src directory (with notepad, for example). Again with the full NetBeans, right-clicking in the project gives you an option to create a new Java class so you don't have to do it manually.
    About the record store, I don't know, sorry... But I answered 2 of 3! :)

  • What did you think of iMovie '11?

    I am thinking about buying a new mac but I'm only really concerned about the movie making software. I have used iMovie a few years ago and I liked it for the most part but I want some personal feedback on it. What did you think of the new software? What has changed in the last few years? Anything important that I should know?

    Hi
    If You last used iMovie HD6 then the change is severe - it's a compleately new tool.
    If iMovie'08 or 09 the difference is not that great.
    Some I listed as
    *iMovie 09 (v8) 8.0.6 (jan 2009)*
    • Far better than iMovie 08 but still far from good.
    • Pic in pic, green screen but basic
    • Image stabilization - fairly good for amateur use
    • Speed-up/down and reverse
    • Bl/W, Old age etc
    • Still - No Continous TimeLine
    • NO - Possibilities to enhanze by use of thirdpart Plug-ins (all investments lost)
    • NO - Playback via Camera/FW - and this prevents 100% safteybackups and the use of an extra TV/Monitor as real-time Quality control (as in iM 1 to HD6)
    Aimed at - speed editing small video projects to be presented on the Internet - NOT DVDs
    *iMovie 11 (v9) 9.0.x*
    • Will be - Intel Only
    • Snow Leopard minimum Mac OS X.6.3
    YES
    • Advanced view including a true TimeLine ? Yes but rudimentary (very basic)
    • True Storyboard - where You even can write and prepare space for lacking material that needs to be obtained or re-shoot. YES
    • Better wave-form presentation of audio and audio tools - Rubberband - Yes
    • Trailer creating tool
    • ”Faces” as in iPhoto - NO - but this finds if there are people in some video-clips
    • Better audio tools. Equalizer and a background audio reducer
    • More Camera support eg 24fps
    NO
    • not 64-bit only
    • The Playback to Camera via FW - returns ? NO
    • Full Quality to iDVD - NO - still only half - every second line
    • Plug-in facility ? - NO
    • No free text tool
    • Tool to mask an identity eg band over face or unsharp area. - NO (could be obtained via Plug-ins in iM HD6 and earlier)
    • Animation tool - To point on interesting object/player - NO animations refere to a totally different
    thing connected to Storyboard and insert of ”dummy animations” while building a movie

    You are talking to fellow users on these forums, not iTunes Support or Apple - I've asked the hosts to remove your phone number from your post.
    For the Camera app, try closing it via the taskbar and see if it works when you re-open the app : from the home screen (i.e. not with the Camera app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar at the bottom of the iPad's screen, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Camera app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    If that doesn't fix it then try a soft-reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
    In terms of syncing, you will need iTunes on your computer - if you haven't already downloaded it then you can do so from here : http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    You can conncet the iPad to your computer and select it on the left-hand sidebar of your computer's iTunes (you can enable the sidebar on iTunes 11 on a PC via control-S), and use the tabs on the right-hand side of the iTunes screen to sycn your content to the iPad.

    Syncing apps : http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12315
    If you haven't yet synced your iPad to your computer you may also find this page useful : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141
    For the excel file, what app are you viewing/editing it in ? If the values are different then it may be that the app that you are using doesn't support all the formulas that are being used in the spreadsheet. Apps that 'support' excel documents include Apple's Numbers app, and from third-parties apps such as Documents To Go ('premium' version) and QuickOffice Pro HD.

  • Try to configure font. What do you think?

    DejaVu installed as dependence and this is nice font. But I think Droid is better (or maybe you have any other idea about better font?).

    Are you really asking people to tell you what the better font choice for your machine is?

  • What do you think of this workflow?

    I use FCP's 3-Way Color Corrector quite a bit in my editing workflow. When I send to Color I find the color-correction from FCP doesn't translate so I was thinking about exporting my video as a self-contained QuickTime and then reimporting it into FCP so my initial color-correction is "baked in." Then, make cuts at the mark of each edit and send the new timeline to Color to really treat the footage. What do you think?

    I've found myself in the same boat. It is too bad the 3-Way Color Corrector values don't translate exactly to Color -- even close would be nice . Your proposed workflow runs the risk of adding exponential time to the post production process. I'd just take some time to match the looks from FCP in Color, then make grades out of them. jkorosi has an excellent point that by "baking in" the look, you may be limiting yourself in Color. It's an incredibly powerful app, and IMHO, is more capable of properly handling original footage. For example, losing Color's nuisance and ability to manipulate depth and detail in tonality because you baked in contrast, seems like a mistake.

  • What do you think of this Design for Multiple Threads

    Hi Java Experts ;
    I'm curious to know what you think about this design for a multhreaded app i'm working on.
    I have a controller thread that (a.) creates threads and (b.) keeps a reference to threads that it creates (by sticking them in a hashtable along with the generated Id for that thread).
    When a created thread completes its job, it decrements the thread counter and removes its reference from the hashtable before it finishes its run method.
    Now here's the interesting part in my controller thread i'm creating new threads on the fly with this infinite loop
         public void run(){
              while(true){
                   try{
                        Thread.sleep(500);
                   }catch(InterruptedException e){
                   if(threadCounter<maxThreadCount && moreJobsToDo.size()>0){
                        createDomainThread();
              }//end while
    what do you think about this pattern ? My goal is to maintain about 200+ created threads running at all times with this pattern.

    jeff kesslerman's book says about threads
    "5.2.3 Threads
    The impact that threads have on RAM footprint isn't a problem for most programs, but running threads do need space to store their stack state, and the system- specific data structures do consume memory.
    Because runtime implementations vary widely in how threads are handled, you might encounter situations where the impact threads have on footprint is significant. For example, some ports of the JRE create a heavyweight OS process for each running thread. In an application that uses many threads, this means that thread costs, rather than class or object costs, can become the dominant factor in the program's memory consumption.
    You shouldn't avoid using threads-they're necessary in many cases, and generally don't have a large impact on footprint. However, you should be aware that the impact can be very different across runtimes. This is one of the reasons it's a good idea to measure performance characteristics under your program's different target environments. "
    Question #1: how does garbage collection go about clearing the stack state, and the system- specific data structures that consume memory.
    Question #2: in my situation, each worker thread's activity is not as brief as a simple server request. Each thread does a lot work and does a lot of network connections. on average I would say 100 http request - each of which can be easily blocked or delayed significantly. Therefore each worker thread may operate for between 2 - 10 minutes.
    Do you think thread pooling is useful in this situation ?

  • What do you think of this case

    What do you think of this case. Would it work good as a modder for a water cooling system? what do you think?

    thanks

    you can't go wrong with chenming... the styling is obvious, why pay more for an antec...
    wonk will tell you antec doens't make its own stuff....
    i guess this means chen ming makes Antec Cases... lol makes sense... chen ming has always been an awesome case
    just so cheap compared to an antec
    EDIT: LOOOOL i found a really good one:
    Chenming Charcoal Black Entry level server case
    ANTEC Black Performance Series II SOHO File Server Tower ATX Case
    look familiar? lol antec=losers
