We have in-house software developers who want to develop PersonalJava applications specifically for our device. How do they get started?
A. Building a device-resident application is like building any PersonalJava application. Refer to the list of steps in the Application Development section of this FAQ. After the application is developed, use the JavaCodeCompact tool (available with the Community Source download) in conjunction with a cross-compiler to generate the ROM code suitable for your target device platform. Note that application prototyping can begin in advance of RTOS and hardware selection due to the platform-independent nature of the Java programming language.
