Hi All.

Wht software i need to start working on this technology like server etc ?
Which IDE i use for this?
How I can run program into mobile like "hello word."?

I have Nokia-6600. What software i need to install in my mobile etc etc etc.

Can any one guide me?

Anand, first of all, you might be posting the right questions in the wrong forum... This forum is for those who are preparing for the Sun Certified Mobile Application Developer Certification Exam... For the general questions related to J2ME area, there is a seperate forum out there to post those questions...
Here is the link to that forum...

But I am going to answer some of ur questions before this thread was moved to that forum...

Wht software i need to start working on this technology like server etc ?

No server needed to simulate... You might want to use Wireless Toolkit for testing purpose...

Which IDE i use for this?

As far as I experienced, Sun's Java Studio Mobility IDE is best for me...

How I can run program into mobile like "hello word."?

You might want to have a look at samples coming with Wireless Toolkit to see how to run "hello world" in J2ME...

I have Nokia-6600. What software i need to install in my mobile etc etc etc.

You will need an application discovery software to find your MIDlet in your mobile phone...

Hope it helps...

I thought the Nokia 6600 already has what it needs on the device to download J2ME jad and jar files.

Yes, Ko Ko is right, I am going to move this to the J2ME forum.

Thanks

Nokia 6600 if you do not run awebs erver to provide ota access..

You ned a simple Irda or Bluetooth usb dongle..TDK systems sells the recommended bluetooth usb dongle..NOte: When you install TDK's software you wil have to disable all your network connections and then reboot and re enable them otherwise correct drivers will not be installed at least on wink2pro or higher..



Once you have that and download Nokia PC suite for 6600 you have the software to send your devlopereed midelt jar/jad to your Nokia 6000 via bluetooth or the infared connection..

most Ides can be used..I use Eclipse..

Pick up Antenna ANT Tasks for j2me dev..

antenna.sourceforge.net

Bias: I am a J2me developer and I am a jr contributor to the Antenna project..


See the tutorial subsectiion of j2me.org for a listing of tutorials..

Oh yeah.. when you install the Sries60 simulator for MIDP2 for your nokia 6600 testing.. make sure you are using a directory name with no spaces..
