IS THIS PROJECT DEAD?

IS THIS PROJECT DEAD?

no reply in 4 months... yeah. it seems so.  last kuix library update was early 2009.

I even bought a license to use kuix, but now it's dead.  Too bad.  It's in production right now on thousands of phones, and I'm happy with that, but it's sad.

It's also to be expected, with the introduction of modern platforms like iphone/android/palmpre, j2me ui solutions like this just aren't as necessary.  Most J2ME developers I know have, or are migrating to android/iphone.  I'm still doing J2ME work fulltime, but doing Palm (WebOS) stuff in my spare time. 

J2ME is dying... and it will take with it all the great projects like Kuix and GlassBox.

Hey Pandora

I'm also fulltime into J2ME and enjoying myself. The advertising industry is only now awakening to the value of mobile apps. And the truth is iPhone and Android is far from taking over the world just yet. I am extending my skillset to include the new platforms though. But right now, 80% of my income is J2ME.

J2ME will only die if Sun gives up the fight. It is high time for Sun to take a long hard look at where they want to go with J2ME and shape it up. If Sun is silly enough to not respond to the current market conditions they would have lost everything they have worked for over the past 6 to 8 years.

Anyway, why don't we start a forum to help Kuix live on? Port it MIDP3.0. Sort out the issues. Make it lighter in weight. Let's do whatever we need to do!

this is really bad

am just starting... and the road is too short

why lord

Hey Talavang

Keep the faith buddy. Keep developing in Java, but don't neglect to keep researching new software languages. Objective C is not a bad one to know - for whatever Apple might get up to in the years to come. I would have been worried if I was a Microsoft Developer - specially guys with pre-C# skills. Eish.

Klickr.

Kuix is open source and the source is available for download. Development can continue if there's still interest. In Africa J2ME is still very large in terms of phone platforms and so I am thinking of continuing with it in terms of what I will need in my projects.
