A new beta build of the J-HotSync Protocol Stack and Test software is now
available for download from:
http://yaztromo.idirect.com/java-pilot.html
If you own a PalmPilot, and are interested in seeing an Open API, flexable,
100% Pure Java based communications and synchronization solution, this project
should be of interest to you. It is being designed for both end-users and
developers interested in integrating PalmPilot functionality into their
Java 1.1-compatible systems.
The current beta release is a simple test program to test communications
with the PalmPilot over its Protocol Assembly/Disassembly Layer (PADP). It's
easy to run, is only 30k in size, and runs on any system that has a Java 1.1
compatible virtual machine installed, and either the Java Serial Handler
(available for OS/2 at http://yaztromo.idirect.com/java-serial.html) or Sun
Communications API installed. It takes only a minute to run, and is an
excellent reference for anyone who is interested in how the PalmPilot
communicates with a host computer using it's propritary protocols.
As well, this project is being 100% developed under OS/2 WARP v4, using
IBM's VisualAge for Java Pro v2.0 and IBM JDK 1.1.7A.
If you're interested, please visit the project homepage above, where you
can read up on it's development progress, sign up for the notification list,
and download the latest beta build. Your feedback on this endevour is greatly
welcomed!
Brad BARCLAY,
Java-PalmPilot Developer.
