Indeed, I guess we have a responsibility to keep the thread relatively short, but I think we can be forgiven for ensuring we get closure on the issue by having a bit of a thread! > I'm not sure what "harnessing the WTK" means, but isn't the whole > purpose of Java's VM approach to minimize architectural changes like > 32 vs. 64 bit? The WTK 2.5.2 only works using 32-bit JVMs because most of it is compiled C++ shared libraries that are JVM extensions. I am not sure what they are doing with the 3.0 release, it seems the Mac OS X Java ME 3.0 distribution does the right thing on both 32-bit and 64-bit JVMs. As ever Sun, now Oracle, release a Windows version of the Java ME SDK then at some time many months later they may release a Linux and even possibly a Solaris version (seriously weird behaviour this). Bizarrely they released a Mac OS X version of the system for the 3.0 release, which is the first Mac OS X release ever made, at the same time as the Windows version. -- Russel. ============================================================================= Dr Russel Winder t: +44 20 7585 2200 voip: sip:[email protected] 41 Buckmaster Road m: +44 7770 465 077 xmpp: [email protected] London SW11 1EN, UK w: www.russel.org.uk skype: russel_winder
