Mobile phone Java games development?

Hi,

What SDKs do I need to develop mobile phone games? nokia seems to require
JBuilder and their own SDK but I'm on the Mac (Xcode under Panther), what to
do?

Thanks,

Paul

Download JBuilder (Yes it's available).

JBuilder need lots of ressources, in fact you don't really need it for MIDP
programming...You can continue to use your favorite java/text editor (mine
is Gel , availlable at http://www.gexperts.com  it's FAST (win32 native) ,
with auto code completion and javadoc as tooltips and it's FREE !) , next
you can use the SDK from nokia if you want to devellop MIDlets that use
Nokia specific APIs (fullCanvas , multimedia etc...) or you can use the J2ME
Wireless Toolkit 2.1 from Sun (free) to compile/emulate/deploy (jad/jar &
OTA) your standard MIDlets (should run on every Java enabled phone) ....

Sun's J2ME Wireless Toolkit is very easy to use : install, launch the
KToolBar to create a project, all necessary folders will be created) ...
Then search google for midlet+tutorial+"sprite.png" for a good overview of
MIDP game programming
... lots of ressources are also availlable from the http://forum.nokia.com
site.
I'm new to MIDP game developement, made a couple of games and I think i'll
now move to specific nokia SDK..

Hope this help...
