Moto SDK 6.2, A1200 and Linux (Desktop)

[Dark_T]

Hi all,

I'm willing to develop some little apps for my A1200, and I figured java would be the easy way to go. I'm using Linux (Mandriva) for developing (well actually for everything).
I downloaded JDK 1.5.10, netbeans, netbeans mobilitu CLCD, and of course the Motorola SDK 6.2 for Linux... For Linux ? Or is it ? Then why do I get a stinky Mot_Linux_6.2.exe ? Ok, I get it, it must be some weirdo back at Moto who did a self-extract zip file... Crossover Office will come to the rescue !
But no luck, "Your OS is not supported, you need Windows 2000 or XP".

What ? I need to develop Linux apps on Java from a Windows box ? How crazy is that ? What about java's portability ?

Anyway, now I'm stuck. Ok I guess I can try the Eclipse plugin, but I kind of like Netbeans and I got a nice tutorial with it...
Anybody can help me get the SDK working with Netbeans on a Linux box ?

Thanks a lot !

[...]Motorola SDK 6.2 for Linux...[...]

It should be

Motorola Java ME SDK v6.2 for Linux OS Products

so it means nothing more than this is for Linux based phones. I really don't know if you will be able to use this SDK on Linux. You can try to install it on some windows machine and then copy only java class stubs in correct emulator folder (I think :P).

if you realy want to do this i think the best way is to learn `C`
and get closer to:

this way is not easy. but i think:
The journey is the reward.

Yaworski : yeah I'll try something like that. A shame though !

Swifty : C ? Yurk, I'm a OO fiend

No problem, Qt libs ( the base for EZX ) is made with c++

@Dark_T
no problem here with OO.
every new application is welcome

happy coding!

Hey if you can make us some apps that would be great.. IF you can let me know in advance and we can work something out for you.. maybe some sort of graditude for your work.
