Java Runtime 2.1 for Symbian available for early birds

Aleksi | 22 April, 2010 16:40

We have just released Java Runtime 2.1 Beta for Symbian available from Nokia Beta Labs. This beta release can be installed to S60 5.0 devices mentioned in the Beta Labs pages. This same JRT 2.1 release will also ship later this year in Symbian^3 devices. During that time we plan also to release final add-on SIS package to S60 5.0 devices via Forum Nokia.

With the beta release developers can trial their Java applications on the new Java Runtime with existing S60 5.0 devices. This will provide early info for developers on how apps will behave on upcoming Symbian^3 devices. Some of the new features of course are dependent on Symbian^3 devices' new OS and hardware features. In beta labs pages we list only features that work in S60 5.0 devices via Java Runtime but in Forum Nokia Java Runtime 2.1 Release Notes page we list all features highlighting the ones that are dependent on Symbian^3 device features.

We welcome and value all the feedback to this beta release. If you have any please use the beta labs feedback & bug report facilities for this as it would be easier to track the issues this way.

As an example, the earlier feedback on Java Runtime 2.0 beta made us for example to put more focus on start up screen and we've made in our thinking significant improvements on it based on the feedback.

As listed in the above links we have also a bunch of new and long-waited developer features available in this release. Documentation for them can be already seen from Java Developer's Library rel 3.4 and we are refreshing that next week with rel 3.5 covering JRT 2.1 more in depth with examples and tutorials covering the new features and APIs. Nokia is also soon releasing alpha SDK for these new developer features.
