JVM for Windows Mobile

JVM can be installed on a Windows Mobile device using WebSphere Everyplace Micro Environment

All you need from there is the CLDC 1.1/MIDP 2.0 for Windows Mobile 5.0 Smartphone Edition/ARM executable. Install it on your computer.

Then go to the installation directory and extract the only zip file there. In the extracted directory you will find docs/install.pdf. Just follow the simple steps showing you how to deploy J9 onto your phone.

Now you can install Gmail on your windows mobile device (yes that was my only goal :=))

To create a shortcut on your Start Menu create a .lnk file with the following contents in one line:

38#"\J9\MIDP20\bin\j9midp20.exe" -classpath "\J9\MIDP20\apps\gmail\gmail-g.jar" "-Xbootclasspath:\J9\MIDP20\lib\jclMidp20\jclMidp20.jxe" javax.microedition.lcdui.AppManager "\J9\MIDP20\apps\gmail\gmail.jad"

gmail-g.jar: http://gmail.com/app/v1.5.0/L1/gmail-g.jar
gmail.jad: http://gmail.com/app/gmail.jad?make=Generic&model=Advanced+MIDP2&ver=

IBM seems to have taken away any free version. THe sie states that there are no downloadable free software. any ideas on where to get it?

Yes looks like IBM has disabled the download. I have a copy sitting on my machine. But wonder if I can distribute it, probably not. Let me check the license and I will upload it if it looks OK.
