SWT project on Creme jvm, windows mobile 6.5 - eclipse

I am starting a java SWT project with creme 4.12 jvm for a windows mobile 6.5 pocket pc.
I really dont know where to start. could not google out any good documentation or example, just a few questions in forums.
I would like to know:
Is there any good docs around that i was unable to find?
Do i have to put any extra configuration on eclipse or i can create and build a simple java project, with sdk 1.3.
I have included the swt-32.dll as native library in swt.jar
i have tried to run it on the device but it crashes before running.
Sorry for the long question, but i really dont know what to do.

I have not that much experience with CrEme although I know that some large WM installs use that.
I can do an AWT app in netbeans and run it successfully on a device.
Look for the netbeans mobility pack to start with CrEme and netbeans.
OTOH you can go on with eclipse. Where did you get the swt files from? I found one source here http://davy.preuveneers.be/phoneme/?q=node/15.
Here is one source I found for an intro to SWT on WM: http://www.eclipse.org/articles/Article-small-cup-of-swt/pocket-PC.html

Eclipse is not starting on macOs

I have an issue with Eclipse,
Eclipse macOS High Sierra version 10.13.6
I keep getting JVM terminated exit code=1
I have tried too many times but the response is same after launching it.
I have downloaded it from Stanford's SEE section and still unable to launch. The error message is here.
I downloaded your course material, and it does indeed contain a really old version of Eclipse - as greg-449 pointed out, there's no way this is going to work on macOS High Sierra. Really surprised instructions from 2007 haven't been updated, but that's another matter.
It would seem that your course just requires Java, so you can use the automated Installer that you find on this page: https://www.eclipse.org/downloads/ and then choose the Eclipse IDE for Java Developers in the wizard. Or you can download that package directly here, and install it.
Looking at your course material, it does appear that they have a custom plugin that makes regular Eclipse actions easier to execute, by adding a number of buttons to the Eclipse toolbar, you won't find these in a vanilla install. If you can find that plugin, you could try to install it into this version of Eclipse too, it might still work. If not, you can perform those steps manually - this video will help, as he shows you how to import and run these projects without those plugins, it's not hard!
It's not possible to say if the plugin adds functionality beyond what is normally possible in general Eclipse distributions, but I doubt it does. Good luck!

Is there a proper step by step guide to installing and using PhoneGap?

Is it just me or the documentation for PhoneGap installation is ridiculous? The steps are all over the place and no clear path to installing and using it. I found a couple of decent guides for use on MAC but nothing that is clear for Windows.
Got frustrated and uninstalled everything, eclipse, cordova, ant, android.
I want to just restart fresh with a clean install. Can anyone show me to a guide which has a step by step guide to windows. Or maybe you could guide me to exactly which are the stuff I need to install for phoneGap to work? For example is ant(apache) even needed? Not every guide mentions it.
I believe over all, the steps includes 2 parts. 1 is installing the various components such as eclipse and so on. 2nd is to interlink all these various components.
Not exaggerating but I've been at this for a week plus now and have looked around for a clear instruction and found nothing. Please help.
PS: If PhoneGap can be installed and linked with NetBeans, it would be great to know exactly how. Tnks.
You have only java, javafx in netbeans because you installed netbeans java edition.
Cordova is in the HTML5 package which is included in other editions like java EE edition or php edition.
In your netbeans version, you have to install the plugin:
Tools->Plugins-Available plugins, check HTML5 and click install.
Then you should be able to use the New project->HTML5->Cordova application.
You will still need cordova, android, ant... but the difference is that netbeans should setup everything for you.
Sorry I can't confirm as I have installed everything before netbeans.

Flex development in Eclipse

I was about to start with a chat application like this one. I was wondering how to do it on Eclipse. Does Eclipse support Flex development? Is there a plugin or a tool which I need to download for Eclipse?
I installed Flash Develop on my machine, but I am getting some issue in unzipping the zip file for Flex SDK which I can't figure out why. Thus I was thinking of switching to Eclipse. It will be really great if someone can also help me fix this issue.
Thanks,
Stone
Another solution would be to use Maven and especially the Flexmojos Plugin to build your application and to use Maven inside Eclipse. This was the way we did it for quite a long time, because Eclipse really sucked if a Project consisted of 50+ Sub-Projects. In the meanwile we switched to IntelliJ but are still using the Maven+Flexmojos approach.
Eclipse does not support Flex development by itself. You will need to purchase Flash Builder which is based on Eclipse. It can be used is a plug-in for an existing Eclipse installation, or installed as a standalone application. There isn't a free solution for using flex inside of eclipse that I am aware of.
Flash Builder has advantages and disadvantages compared to Flash Develop. Try both and see which one meets your requirements.
If you are having trouble using the Flex SDK to with Flash Develop, please post a new question with the details.

Cross-Platform Single-Instance IDE Setup

I like to carry software around with me on a USB flash drive. I also like to work in both Windows and Linux. Finally, I like to develop software using powerful tools.
Bringing these three things together, I want to be able to carry an IDE around with me. My favorite choice is Eclipse.
So, I tried to get an Eclipse install working on a thumb drive. Not surprisingly, it's just fine if I pack in a JDK. But Eclipse without plugins just doesn't do it for me. After installing my plugins of choice, I had a hefty 300ish MBs of data.
Then I realized that I'd only installed for Linux. And that I was going to have to duplicate everything to get a Windows install. That's not good.
I've searched the web. I found a guide on creating .link files which looks like a hack from the early 80s. I found documentation on the new Eclipse p2 provisioning which I couldn't even understand. I checked Pulse, and they don't support Helios yet.
I remember in old Eclipse days you could just install a plugin to an alternate directory, and share that dir across different Eclipse installs. Today, I couldn't manage to find anything of the sort.
I did manage to get Netbeans up and working properly in a cross-platform manner in around 30 minutes. But I prefer Eclipse.
Could anyone give me a hand? What I'm looking for is:
One install of the platform-independent portions of the Eclipse internals
One install of each plugin I desire
The ability to run this unified Eclipse from both Linux and Windows
I know I'll need a JVM for each platform. I know I'll also need an SWT lib and launcher for each OS. That's fine.
You need to have separate Eclipse installations for each platform and a shared plugins directory for both installations. There are many questions on the subject on StackOverflow. For example, see this comprehensive answer.
Start with the standard Eclipse packages. Complete your shared dropins setup. Once you are up and running, you get probably move plugins from each standard installation to the shared dropins directory to save space (for example, JDT).

Blackberry Development using NetBeans

I have gone through with the tutorial documents for blackberry development.
At every place they have showed the features with eclipse plugins.
So, I would like to know that which are the tools I need to download If I want to start development using NetBeans 6.8 (or 6.5) ? And what is the procedure to do so ?
Thanks in advance...
One guy called Jonathan Fisher did come up with a solution, but his page disappeared off the web a while ago. But I managed to find it using the Wayback machine to get the archived webpage.
Basically you need to first install the Blackberry JDE (which is Eclipse based), then in Netbeans Mobility settings go to Manage Emulators and do Add Plaform in the platforms manager to add a custom platform that points to your Blackberry JDE directory, and remove all the automatically added jars except for net_rim_api.jar
Next, when you start a MIDP project, select your new custom Blackberry platform as your emulator in the project settings. You will also need to add some custom build settings to build.xml, plus a Blackberry .alx application loader file to the project. It's a bit long-winded, so best to follow the instructions as per the aforementioned link.
There are no plugins that are available for BlackBerry development on Netbeans. But, you can do so, if
you are willing to give up the on device debugging that you can get with Eclipse plugin.
And are willing and know how to install BlackBerry JDE in Netbeans.
The advantage here is Netbeans has a lot more sophisticated preprocessor support, whereas BlackBerry plugin in Eclipse has rudimentary support for that.
I have wrote a short article on this on my blog link text
, it tells you how to confguire Netbeans for BB development.
this is only supporting J2ME not cldc .
I would highly recommend using the Eclipse plugin. Its supported from RIM and it has a large enough community base for troubleshooting.
