Porting MIDP Apps to Other Platforms

[grahamhughes]

If the moderators will excuse the cross-forum posting...

Anyone interested in porting MIDP apps to other platforms, especially WinPho, iOS, Android or BlackBery... there is a thread on the WinPho board regarding porting MIDP with Codename One. You get nothing for nothing... I'm looking for collaboration!

Cheers,
Graham.

hey graham ! man, thats quite some time ago !!!
Nice project/product though.. But there are loads of other cross-platform development tools (Corona, PhoneGap, just to mention a couple).... Even though, if I am not mistaken, this is the first one in which you develop in Java right ?

Hi guys! Nice to see you!

Yes, it's an area I follow closely. I'm not a fan of JavaScript-based tools like PhoneGap, as it's not a language in which I want to write anything very complicated. I want to make use of the code I already have. This is the first promising tool I've seen that is Java based. The guys behind it were the guys behind LWUIT, so it has some pedigree.

I'm already using Java across Android, BlackBerry, MIDP and JavaSE/Swing. If I could ditch ObjectiveC in favour of CN1 on iPhone, and be able to support WinPho into the bargain, I save money and support more platforms.

If anyone else has MIDP apps they'd like to port, I think we can share the effort and at least have a "first draft" on CN1 for very little cost...

seems like a good idea, but personally atm I have nothing I need to port...
I did some apps (on antoher platform that is) that use 3rd party libraries (for example for Graphs), I wonder if that can be ported automagically... In this case it's a jar which is included within a project, so no source code available (paid graph library)...
