[xmlvm-users] Support for J2ME (MIDP) to IPhone cross compilation, commercial usage, Apple AppStore?

[Gergely K. <ger...@ma...>]

Hi,

I found your very nice project.

We are looking into a solution to port our J2ME / BlackBerry / Android
application over to IPhone.
For Android we have a thin wrapper to provide the necessary J2ME services.
We use the following features:
- JSR-135 (Multimedia)
- JSR-170 (PIM, Filesystem access)
- Generic Connector Framework
- RecordStore
- Canvas

We plan to contribute the missing pieces of these features to the xmlvm
project. Does this kind of contribution enough to get a GPL Linking
Exception?
We have not decided yet whether we will start the J2ME MIDP support "from
scratch", or just add the missing pieces to the android2iphone library, and
use our Android port as the basis.

We would be also interested in the price of the commercial license. Our
clients might feel safer to be able to have an actual contract which grants
them the right to use the xmlvm runtime libraries.

A very important question, before we invest too much energy into this: Are
there applications already in the Apple App Store that were ported using
xmlvm? Could we get some pointers? Are there any issues that we have to
check?
