jsr 239 support

[limingchina]

Hi,

Is JSR 239(Java binding for OpenGL ES) currently supported by any Nokia mobile devices?

If not, is there a roadmap available?

Hi Ming,

That API is not supported on any Nokia devices yet.
The API is not part of the MSA API collection, so I do not see it implemented any time soon.

Hi! Do you mean that nokia devices don't have hardware support for jsr 239, or that you can't write jsr 239 based midlets?

Thanks in advance,

The JSR-239 is not implemented on Nokia devices, so the MIDlets cannot use it.

I hope to see this api implemented soon in nokia devices...

Why do you want '239, rather than '184?

Why do you want '239, rather than '184?

sure not, I want both...

[grahamhughes]

But... why do you want 239? Why do you not just use 184?

what's the question?
how can you compare this two apis? both are used to draw something 3D on a scene,
but it isn't comparable...

[grahamhughes]

I can compare them, because they're used for the same thing: rendering 3D images. Why do you require the low-level JSR 239 API? Why can you not just use the higher-level JSR 184 API?

Or, another way: what problem is solved by 239, that cannot be solved using 184?

this is your answer.

please don't open a religious war, both apis is better than one api, this is sure...

I'm not opening a religious war! I'm a software engineer, not a priest. There is a variety of reasons why one might want one API rather than another. I just wondered what your specific reason was. I was interested because:

1. Nokia will need to spend money to provide an implementation. They are more likely to do this if you can provide a specific case for it, rather than just saying "I want it".

2. There may well be an alternative solution of which you are not aware, and someone might be able to help you.

You are right, Sony Ericsson has a Java Platform ten times better than the Nokia one and it supports JSR239
with many other interesting apis...
I don't think that implementing a new api for nokia will makes someone starving :P
