How to run Nokia SDK S60 in Eclipse - EclipseMe

2008-04-24T01:43:00.000-07:00

We had some difficulties running Nokia SDK S60 applications under EclipseMe. Basically, there are two ways of running Midlets in EclipseMe:

Directly from the JAR, specifying the main class (Midlet option in EclipseMe)
Referencing a JAD file, that links to the JAR

Both these two options seem to have bugs:

Running from the JAR, Nokia SDK complains about a mismatch in the JAR size dimension
Running form the JAD, NOkia SDK complains about a file not found exception for the JAD

We found a workaround for the latter (JAD) approach.

Create the package
Modify the JAD file under the 'deplyed' folder and add your midlet in the 'midlet' tab
Select the JAD file under the 'deployed' folder
Remove the 'file:/' prefix in the JAD URL
EclipseMe at this point blocks the run button, apply the change anyway and close.
Run the application from the main control panel

At this point the application runs without problems. The only glitch is that S60 Emulator is VERY slow. You can consider using the S40 Emulator which is much faster.

Google Bombing WiMax

2007-01-11T04:05:00.000-08:00

La fortissima attesa per il WiMax, tecnologia wireless che molto potrebbe fare per portare la banda larga in quell'Italia che la sogna da anni, potrebbe essere tradita dal modo in cui il Governo intende gestire le frequenze necessarie.
Le frequenze del WiMax saranno assegnate tramite un'asta pubblica che le consegneranno nelle mani dei soliti grandi operatori, togliendo al WiMax quelle potenzialità di pervasività che potrebbero aggredire al cuore il divide digitale italiano. Il costo delle licenze, poi, si ripercuoterebbe sui costi finali del WiMax per l'utente, esattamente come avvenuto con UMTS, tecnologia promettente che tutt'oggi, ad anni dalla sua introduzione, rimane frequentata da una piccola percentuale dell'utenza, quella che se la può permettere.

You can save and open the link (kml file) in Google Earth, or you can copy the link in the search field of Google Maps, or even in the search field of Google Maps for Mobile.

The data has been collecting running WiFiFoFum
