Help - Pocket PC

[Magnus]

Hi,

I developed a small application using Java 1.4.13 and JBuilder Developer
2005.

Last week I was asked if the application can run on a hand-held Dell
Axim X51 running Pocket PC V5.

After just trying to copy the exe-file over it gives the following
error: "<appname> is not a valid Pocket PC application".

I have tried to search the Internet for tips but haven't found anything
that can guide me through the process. Most pages were from 2004 or
earlier and talked about virtual machines etc.

Maybe it is easier to re-write in a language and development environment
specialized for Pocket PC.

any one have any pointers to help me?

TIA

In order to run a Java application on a Pocket PC, you need the Java Micro
Edition. Here's an excellent FAQ for Pocket PC Java development:
