[mobile-iwg] Comments on quickinstall
|
Hi!
SonyEricsson is going to release a new SDK soon. It
will be compliant with Sun's JavaME SDK 3.0 (formerly known as WTK). In the new architecture of SDK 3.0 the concept of vendor specific SDK's is not really apropriate, each vendor only needs to create their own device adapter to
the SDK 3.0. I would like to refer to
the mail that Tomas
Westling sent (http://dev.eclipse.org/mhonarc/lists/mobile-iwg/msg00038.html) and the picture
attached to this mail to get an understanding of how it works in concept. As you
can see, according to this new architecture, there is no direct contact between
the vendor specific device adapter and the IDE. Everything is handeled
through the UEI implementation of SDK 3.0. The most important thing for
SonyEricsson is that the MADK is able to install and to be compliant
with the SDK 3.0 from Sun. This should not be a problem since it will
be fully UEI compatible.
Given this
scenario, in my mind there will not be a SonyEricsson alternative in the list of
installable SDK's in the quickinstaller but there should be a Sun Java ME
SDK 3.0 alternative instead.
The question
is what will happen to other vendors SDK's. Most of them are based on
Sun's previous WTK solution, will thay also upgrade to JavaME SDK 3.0? In
that case, will the quickinstaller be superfluous?
Regarding the
questions in the agenda for the meeting yesterday on the SDK 3.0
integration:
Q: it has a "Device Manager" - can
we integrate this in Eclipse?
A: The idea is that all
communication should be handled
via the UEI standard.
Q: it uses an update manager - how
is this compatible with Eclipse P2?
A: It's based on the update mecanism of NetBeans. The updating of the device
adapters is handled inside the SDK.
Best
regards!
