Palm Programming

Excelsior

I don't know if this is the right board to post this but:
is there such a thing, and where doi i get it, as a syntax checker for java that i can run on a palm 3c. so that i can write some code and know that it works. then i can compile it when i take it to a pc. if there isn't such a thing, is there an alternative in another languague?

Well, for other languages, How about C?

PocketC is available here: http://www.orbworks.com/PalmOS/

Compile and run c applets on your palm.

As for Java, there is a Java Micro Edition with a palm JVM the KVM. http://www.java.sun.com/products/cldc/

another onboard c compiler for palms
http://www.pocketsmalltalk.com
a smalltalk system for palms

Seemingly there's also a quite tidy forth system for palms..

As for a java code validator for palm, can't say I know of any, and I had a quick look on palmgear.com with no luck.

I'm pretty certain that C++ is the recommended language for palm development as the JVM is a performance issue on a machine that size.

psst. I think the original question was about code verifiers for code written on the palm pilot...

I just threw in the JVM coz it seemed interesting. :P

And, yup, afaik Metroworks Codewarrior C++ for palm is the official reccomended way to develop for palm pilots. As for on them...

i want to develop on palm pilots. alot of weekend downtime on buses and trains in the coming year- i'd like to be able to code.
