[news.eclipse.dsdp] Re: Device Information Database 
Hello Sebastian,

could you elaborate a little bit what kind of use you'd want to make from an integrated device information database?

My feeling is that for device platforms outside the mobile java
space, the hardware is perhaps just too different to fit into a
generic scheme for such device information, such that a tooling
could make use of it.

In case I'm right, the MTJ project might be the right place for discussing this. Or does anybody know about a similar public available database for hardware other than Java platforms?

Thanks,

Hi

First of all, sorry for the crosspost. But i have a question in which
project device information access should be managed.

My first idea was the dsdp-tm project, but looking through the use cases
and the newsgroup of dsdp-tm astonished me a bit. Non of the
sub-projects in dsdp addresses device information that is fundamental
for multi-device development(at least at JavaME-Development).

I think about an abstraction of accessing multiple device-information
databases like (J2ME-Polish-Device-Database, WURFL, J2ME-Device-Database
, see
http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Programming:J2ME:MIDP_Device_Databases for
more.)

Possible there can be an abstraction, that all(or may be some)
mobile-phone manufactors can contribute data to.

Kind regards
Sebastian
