Java Development

Well honestly, even RIM doesnt know if and when the QNX phones will be and launched, so how could we know ;-) . They said early 2012, and then changed that to late 2012.

Well, there you have it... Rovio just released Angry Birds for QNX after the NDK came out, but it was not developed for BBOS even though Angry Farm proves it can be done fairly well and make a lot of money.

QNX is very sharp. I'm halfway through porting PB application to the iPad. It's too easy.

I hadn't realized before that iOS supports AIR. I am going to take a second look at AIR.

So java on QNX is a no go.... But what really drives me crazy... is... Why does RIM keeps on advertising java like if it is there to stay?

This week at DevCon Europe, they've just annonced the new java micro site....

Is RIM holding on something we don't know ??? RIM, just come out and make an official statement about the plateform !!!! This is causing a lot of developpers to abandonned your plateform.... Not good!!!

If java on BB is pronounced dead in a year + or -, why would a developper build an app on java... To my understanding, it would be a waist of energy and ressources!!!

From the US DevCon JAVA is dead and not avail for BB10.  Maybe RIM is just advertising for the current BB devices and not BB10.

Blackberry will die with Java.

Highly disappointing!

Imagine all the developers who worked on Blackberry for years. 

And who gets to have free playbacks for submitting apps.. Android Developers, Web Developers, Adobe Air Developers but not BB JAVA developers who have working on the BB APIs for so long. 

Good for RIM though that they have the numbers in App world. 

If RIM can build support for Android VM, then find it difficult to understand they not supporting the Java VM and their own APIs. Please explain it to us Java Developers. Is it a business or a technical decision.

Still would like to believe that RIM just might surprise existing BB Java Developers with a some support for existing apps though a bit late.

I fill like big period of my life is in the past

Like I'm gratudated from university.

It was interesting time to write/publish and support. I'll still develop for BB for sometime but I'll try to focus on the andoid now.

I don't understand you. By focusing on Android you are also focusing on BB10.

Java is dead thanks to Oracle.
