Rony, Why become more compatible with PJava? Because if Waba does not, eventually it will be marginalized, and cease to offer significant value. And Waba DOES have things to offer into the PJava environment. As I stated, and as you reiterated, "Waba allows almost anyone to master programming GUI-apps for PDAs within a couple of weeks. Its user interfaces are more geared towards PDAs." The core classes should have the same interface as those in PJava. I do not see any point to migrating over the UI from PJava. PJava compatible exception and thread handling classes need to be added to Waba. This isn't new. Many of us have been making these points for months. I am simply point out that Java is starting to be a standard component on more PDAs. PDAs will continue to get faster and more capable. The massive migration from PalmOS to PocketPC indicates that a miminalist strategy is failing to meet the increasing needs of more and more users. Eventually it is almost certain that PJava will fit on all PDAs. If we focus on what makes Waba good on PDAs, we are in a position to offer that knowledge and experience to the larger PDA Java community. For example, classes from Waba or Ewe would offer PJava users a more appropriate UI framework. --- Noel |
