How to set up eclipse for java me and android development - java

Ive downloaded eclipse classic (3.7.1) today to set up an android development environment.
I also wanted to set up a java mobile dev env with java me 3.0 sdk.
The thing is i dont want to download another eclipse for the java part, so am asking what should i download to add up to my "eclipse classic" install so that i can work on java mobile?

Are you looking for something like EclipseME?

Javacard applet beginner

I am new to javacard applet development.How many development tools are there now? Which is the simplest for beginners? As simple as possible...
Thanks in advance
There is a development kits called JCIDE, is free. After installation, can be used directly, no configuration parameters. Unfortunately, when debugging, only set one breakpoint, but normal use is enough. I feel very good, recommended to you.
Here's a ready made set of applets that you can use with standard Eclipse: https://github.com/gracebear/AppletPlayground
There are also links to other open source and free-n-easy to use components.
Normally I use Jcop, which is the a plugin of eclipse. You can install the eclipse first . And then add the JCOP plugin into it.
To starting developing an applet for Java Card :
1. Download and install Java JDK. (on Oracle website), and setup your JAVA_HOME
2. Download eclipse for Java developer in eclipse.org (newest version is Neon). Extract to use it, it's portable app.
3. Download Java Card JCDK 3.0.5 (newest) and install.
4. Install the JCDK plugin on Eclipse
Note: You can following the getting started document in JCDK 3.0.5 how to setup environment and running or compiling the applet.

Does Android SDK (Android Development Tools ) alter the Java SDK?

I want to develop a Windows application using Java SDK and eclipse, also I want to develop an Android app while using the same PC and eclipse. Is it possible to do both as I`m not sure if I set up eclipse and install the Android Development Tools (ADT) will I still be able to develop the Windows application at the same time???
No - all ADT does is use the existing JDK environment :)
You can just download the Android Development Tools from the Android website.
The Android Development Tools is nothing more than Eclipse modified with the ADT Plug in preinstalled.
In it, you have the option to create both Android projects and plain old Java projects.
So, downloading the Android Development Tools alone will give you everything you need.
If you already had Eclipse set up, installing the ADT yourself into it will not take away any functionality from Eclipse, it will just add ADT functionality on top of it.
No, it does not alter it.
You will have the Android SDKs on their own folders and has nothing to do with JDK.

Setting environment variable for Eclipse?

I have set the CLASSPATH and HOME_PATH for my JDK in the windows environment variables, do I need to set anything similar for Eclipse in order to compile Android programmes?
The problem I'm having is that Eclipse can be opened and create a program as simple as the Helloworld example, seems to be not an exact way to compile and then I can pack into any execution file so my little Android phone can install with.
Android requires more than just Java, but also the Android SDK. To get it working with Eclipse, you'll also need the Eclipse Android plugin. So, if you can run the HelloWorld program, Java is working. Follow instructions to get Android working here:
http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
Also, there's a couple links under the "ADT Bundle" section to just download a self-contained version of Eclipse bundled with the Android SDK to save you from installing the Eclipse Android plugin and configuring anything. You'll unzip the folder in a convenient directory, then see two folders: the Android SDK and another containing Eclipse. You can just run the Eclipse.exe in the Eclipse folder and your Android environment is good to go.
Do you have the android SDK? If not, get it here. It comes with eclipse IDE with all the required things already set up.

customized version of eclipse

I currently have the android sdk running with eclipse. It happens to be that I also want to download stanford's customized version of eclipse in order to learn some other stuff. Will there be a problem downloading and installing this customized version if I already another version of eclipse installed on my computer?
Nope! Just make sure you install them to different locations and (potentially) use different workspaces. Eclipse is totally self-contained in the eclipse directory (or where ever you install it).

How can I setup my Netbeans IDE for making Java ME applications?

Ok, I have Netbeans 6.7.1 installed with the default Java SDK. I'm using Linux Mint.
Now I'm told that I have to download Java Platform Micro Edition Software Development Kit 3.0
So, should I download this? And once I download and install this in Linux, what do I have to install for Netbeans so I can create a Mobile Application? I'm fairly new to this environment so please any advice is welcome! :)
Make sure you have Java installed (version >= 6 ) and then simply go to: http://netbeans.org/downloads/ and download the version that comes with JAVA ME support. Then install it, and you are ready to go :)
And no, you shouldn't download JAVA ME SDK 3.0 since it is not supported in linux. sigh
While at it I'd recommend you to read also the links below:
Also if you're just getting started here are some nicely written tutorials with examples:

http://today.java.net/pub/a/today/2005/05/03/midletUI.html

I think this only applies if you download a version without JavaME modules. If you download the version with JavaME modules, you don't have to do this. The provision is to allow you to install multiple versions of the emulator (including Nokia's) and work with them.
If you have downloaded a version of NetBeans without ME, then do this
1. Download the JavaME SDK and install that eg. /opt/java/javame
2. Install ME modules in NetBeans. Tools -> Plugins -> Installed and activate JavaME
3. Add the SDK in NetBeans Tools -> Java Platforms -> Add Platform -> Java ME Platform Emulator and follow the instructions
I'm using NB 6.8 BTW.
In NetBeans, go to the "Tools/Plugins" menu, then in the "Available plugins" tab, select the plugins which are part of the "Java ME" category. now click "instal"... NetBeans will take care of downloading, installing and configuring everything for you.
