Free Java from IBM
IBM has released a Java virtual machine that is part of IBM WebSphere Micro Development Edition. The MIDP 2.0 Java runs on Windows Mobile 2003 for Pocket PC. Free to download but for commercial purposes there is a license fee involved. An installation guide can be found here.
I've seen a number of Java based Pocket PC applications and haven't been impressed with the user interface. Graphical controls get distorted and the Start-menu is often thrown to the bottom of the screen. However, from the little I've seen from IBM's new software I can say that it looks much better. Can this be the first Java implementation that actually works on the Windows Mobile platform?

Please discuss the topic, not other arguments. There's been quite enough arguments around here lately. Thanks.

I installed this onto my 6315, and downloaded Emailviewer (the .jar file web link) to read HTML email from www.reqwireless.com. Works perfectly.
I haven't read a way to download java apps using Activesync; looks like you need to use a web link to download directly onto the device.

Does anyone know if this will enable the actionbar.jar applet to work for Lotus Notes Webmail.
This is the toolbar for New Foward Delete etc etc
