New to bluetooth programming

[ali_hammad]

hello there..

i am a new programmer of bluetooth applications.. currently i m doing my final project and now um stuck up as my project is related to bluetooth programming in J2ME and J2SE as well..

i have a couple of questions...

- i want ur suggestion on which IDEs best suit for my project.. currently i m using Series 60 SDK + IBM WebSphere... any other suggestion?

- i dont know how to connect a J2SE application with a mobile applicaiton .. cuz there is no support for bluetooth programming in J2SE... any idea???

- lastly i am getting problem in downloading " Carbide.j ", it gives an error of the country group that i am in group d and it requires group b ... so any other way to download it???

help will be higly appreciated..

Netbeans ide 4.1 Netbeans Mobile tookit 4.1
add Nokia Developer v 3.0

www.netbeans.com for java, BlueCoveWinXP if you have WinXP compatible bluetooth usb connector.

Finally just for building quick use Sun Wireless Toolkit.

i dont know how to connect a J2SE application with a mobile applicaiton .. cuz there is no support for bluetooth programming in J2SE... any idea???

Yes as I said use BlueCove project from http://bluecove.sourceforge.net
You use JSR82 library built into your Nokia 6230i phone!.
javax.bluetooth.*

In netbeans uses bluetooth library emulator for JSR82.
see my answer to connection by phone and sending a string message

Download problems well try loading the UK Version that loads.
I suspect may be too large for a dial up connection to load >100MB
