palm has released a new version of their MIDP 2 implementation, available at their PluggedIn website.
new features include:
The toolkit also includes a packaging utility to convert JAD and JAR files into the Palm OS PRC format, developer documentation, and a readme with the latest fixes and known issues. Some new highlights of this release include support for platformRequest() for opening web pages (http://,https://) and sending emails (mailto:), OTA/AMS/JAM support, and Comm serial port connections over IrDA and Bluetooth. The OTA supports means you can now install JAD/JAR natively over-the-air without conversion to PRC. Game API performance is also significantly improved.
OTA support is key. Explicit support for platformRequest() is also of note.
I'll run the BD3 FeedReader source through the conversion and let you know how it works. We plan to support this on the Tungsten C and Treo 600 when this kit is released.
