Hi Wonkon

Can you please give me some suggestion what are the packages I need to install on my device to get started. I have enable extra devel on my app manager what should I look for. To let you know that I am a complete novice.


Thank you

I installed PyGTKEditor and print my first program called Hello World.

Very Cool.

Don't be confused by the name icedtea. This is the full OpenJDK. Admittedly, this version is quite old but it gives you all the things you need to develop and run Java applications.

On the other hand, the main intent of packaging the OpenJDK was to allow running exisiting Java applications, not to develop new ones. I wouldn't actually suggest to start with Java for Maemo development but rather advice to go with a language that also supports the mobile UI or at least offers bindings for these.
I actually knew all this, it's just that to me, taking that into account, the situation with Java on the N900 seems less intuitive than, say, C. With C, you just install GCC, and you can code up a hello world program in it and compile it and run a.out in minutes, but Java, well - like I said, I never tried - if it IS actually that easy, I admit my error happily, but I also know that there's more options to Java runtime environments than just OpenJDK's, and seems to me like that might confuse things.
