SuperWaba Palm OS 5.82

SuperWaba is a Virtual Machine that can be run in Palm OS, Symbian, Pocket PC, Windows CE, AppletViewer and Windows 98 (and beyond). Because of the way SuperWaba was written, you can use Java to develop for it. You can write and debug the programs in your favorite Java IDE. When finish testing, just upload it to your handheld device.
SuperWaba is an open source project, covered by the GPL and LGPL licenses.
SuperWaba is a VM for PDAs and Smartphones. Because of the way SuperWaba was written, you can use Java to develop for it. Can run in PalmOS, Symbian, Windows CE/PocketPC devices, and in Windows 98/NT/2000/XP, and is fully emulated under JDK and browser. Theres now a test version on Sony PSP!
Note: This version runs on Palm OS!
Enhancements:
- Removed support for the following platforms: UIQ (P800), HPC2000_MIPS, HPC211_SH3, HPC211_MIPS. These pdas are rather old and we dont believe someone is still using them. This will make the SDK smaller. If you try to install the vm and the installation now fails, contact us and well send you the files and maybe put back the removed platform (if many people needs it).
- 1. When an error 500 occurs, the SOAP class gets the error reason from the returned message and displays it in the exception. Increased SOAP, XmlTokenizer and HttpStream default buffer sizes from 512 to 1024, so the error message can be read at once.
- 2. now when the user hold the action key for a while in wince and symbian, the menu is popped up. before this, it was impossible to open the menu in penless devices. Note that now the ACTION key event is dispatched when the key is released and Settings.actionOnRelease is true (default). On Palm OS, actionOnRelease is ignored.
- 3. added Vm.tweak to enable, during the running instance, some parameters that are available when running the Welcome application.
- 4. added ColorList.setColors to set the colors that will be displayed.
- 5. fixed color of ScrollBars bar when both buttons are disabled (on Palm OS style).
- 6. added Convert.getStackTrace, which returns the stack trace for a given Throwable as a String. CAUTION: getting a stack trace can cause device reset, because theres a lack of information in the SuperWaba vm about method frames, and during the stack crawl, it can access an invalid memory region, causing the reset.
- 7. now the Esc key also exits from the MultiEdit and Edit on penless devices.
- 8. added SoundClip support for java applications at desktop (before, only java applets was supported).
- 9. changed the motoq button at the RIGHT SIDE of the pda from BACKSPACE to ACTION. Otherwise, it is impossible to exit from a MultiEdit, because (only) on this phone the center button is mapped to 13 (enter) instead of 134 (action).
- 10. brunosoares - fixed HttpStreams content-length not being correctly retrieved under some situations.
- 11. brunosoares - fixed HttpStreams and Sockets readLine not reading lines correctly (now returns null only when no more lines are available).
- 12. brunosoares - added support to 3xx response codes (redirection) in HttpStream. Included an attribute which contains the new location: URI location.
- 13. brunosoares - fixed MainWindows swap() method that was causing a container to be focused instead of its first focusable control on penless devices (only when a container was added to another container).
- 14. fixed Button on Vista ui style: now when it has BORDER_NONE, only a flat background is drawn in the control.
- 15. fixed the focus getting out of a Grid on penless mode when an item was selected on a cells combobox.
- 16. fixed problem on Grid with combobox on penless devices: put the focus on a grid, select a line, press ACTION and press 0 to open the combobox - the program freezes.
- 17. fixed Settings.appPath at desktop not ending with a slash.
- 18. fixed support for passive scanners (SocketCom).
- 19. now when the user press a 0-9 key in the Grid in penless mode, the selected column flashes.
- 20. fixed printStackTrace when sending the buffer to the string not keeping the line number.
