Free ide software for pda

Use this Development Environment to create Palm pda applications (or even games) by taking advantage of the LUA language.

This IDE is designed to work with the interpreter/compiler PLua, PLua itself comes with an IDE but this one is limited to the palm platform, thats why I decided to write an IDE for windows.

DelayCalc is a simply delay calculator.
It let you quickly know what the delay time should be for a certain BPM (tempo).
Enhancements:
- Bug fix: fatal alert: "Sorry--programs generated with the free demo version expire", this was due to an error while upgrading my IDE version.

PalmGen is a Java program that will take a Palm Resource file (PilRc format) and generate GNUC source code that will set up form handlers for all of the forms that are defined in the resource file, object handlers for the objects in each form, and menu handlers for each menu.
The idea is to use a GUI resource editor (like Arbor Builder, or Falch.nets IDE resource compiler) to create all of your forms and objects in those forms, then use this tool to create the GNUC code for a working prototype, or skeletal framework.
Main features:
- Code Generation from a PilRC Resource File
- Fast Prototyping
- Hardware button can scroll through Forms
- Makefile generation
- Source file options.. all in one C file, in 4 files, or a file for each form.
- Specify Alert for each form event (when anything gets tapped).
Enhancements:
- GUI interface
- PalmTools 2.0 support
- Hardware Form Scrolling

J2METools is a collection of scripts I use during development of J2ME programs. Theyre somewhat generic but they will probably not replace any full featured IDE. Nevertheless, the can probably serve as a starting point for you as well.
These tools are for the Linux platform only.
The tools are:
Emulators: n6230, n6310i, n7210, s30emul. These scripts serves as wrappers around some of the various Nokia SDK emulators. The n6310i and n7210 scripts runs in the context of Wine.
j2mejdb - a quick way to launch jdb. This script ties nicely to n6230 and s30emul.
j2metrans - transfer jad/jar file to a (possibly) bluetooth enabled phone.
Emulators
General usage is ... (s30emul used as an example):
Usage: /usr/bin/s30emul [OPTIONS] file
[OPTIONS]
-h Help (this ..)
-m home SDK home
You need to set ${emulator}_HOME (or give the -m switch) to point to the correct SDK. Run the wrapper script without arguments to see the search path.
The file argument is the jad file to read. If a filename without the suffix (.jad) is given .jad is appended.
I have the following in my /etc/profile.local:
nd=/opt/Nokia/Devices
N6230_HOME=$nd/Nokia_6230_MIDP_Concept_SDK_Beta_0_2
N6310I_HOME=$nd/Nokia_6310i_MIDP_SDK_v1_1
N7210_HOME=$nd/Nokia_7210_MIDP_SDK_v1_0
S30EMUL_HOME=$nd/Nokia_Series_30_MIDP_Concept_SDK_Beta_0_2
export N6230_HOME N6310I_HOME N7210_HOME S30EMUL_HOME
unset nd
... so that the emulator homes are set correctly up.
The n6230 script can be launched in debug mode by specifying the -d argument. Use -D string to setup a default connection string.
The s30emul script can be launched in debug mode by specifying the -d argument. Use -p portnum to specify debug port.
j2mejdb
j2mejdb launches the jdb debugger. Specify -H hostname and -p portnum to override the default settings of localhost:4452.
j2metrans
Transfer jad/jar files to a mobile phones. You need to have Gammu installed and configured.
Usage is:
Usage: j2metrans [OPTIONS] prog1 prog2 ... progN
[OPTIONS]
-c configNum Gammu configuration
-d debugLevel Gammu debug level (nothing|text|textall|binary|errors)
-g group Group name (Application|Game)
-h This page
Enhancements:
- added the j2metrans script
- added the j2mejdb script
- added the -D and -d (debug) flags to n6230
- added the -d and -p flags to s30emul
- renamed the suite from emulators to J2METools

GameWrite is a miniature IDE that can be used to create Pocket PC games and multimedia applications on your Pocket PC . Its possible to do this without using Embedded Visual Basic or a desktop compiler. GameWrite uses the ASpriteCE Game Control as its engine, and you can access any of ASpriteCEs functions from within the IDE. Several samples ship with the application to get you started, and online help is available within the IDE. GameWrite is FREE for personal, non-commercial development of freeware applications. To distribute your creations commercially, you will need to purchase a copy of the ASpriteCE Game Control

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 Symbian OS!
Note for S60 3rd Edition:
To be able to install SuperWaba VM and applications, dont forget to allow self-signed software installation.
To change this option, go to Application Manager (usually it is located
under Tools folder). Select Options | Settings menu. When you select
Software installation, you can see two options, i.e. Signed only and All. If you choose Signed only, you wont be able to install self-signed
application. If you choose All, you will be able to install any signed
applications...
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.
