Is it possible to develop java me applications on linux? It appears that there is no linux version of the sdk. Otherwise what would you suggest as a good language to develop mobile applications?
A:
I was able to install (an earlier version of) the SDK on a Windows machine and then copy the relevant libraries to my Linux development environment. I wish sun would provide the all the JDKs in zip/tar format. I hate having to INSTALL software just to get .jar files out of an archive. I should note that the SDK includes a mobile device emulator that doesn't work under Linux but you just need the .jars to compile code.

Well, you can still use the Java lang. But maybe develop some Android apps.

Use the 2.5.2 SDK. It works pretty well under Linux, actually.
I'd also second the recommendation for Android, where Linux is definitely not a second-class citizen.

The Sun Java Wireless Toolkit 2.5.2 runs under Unbuntu 6.x, more details here: http://java.sun.com/products/sjwtoolkit/download.html
We use WinXP for J2ME and Ubuntu for Android. Though that's more down to the preference of the coders than any limitiations.

virtual box can be a great help here, for OSX and Linux users, unfortunately most of the emulators and sdks, in particular the preverifiers are geared for Windows first, a prime example being Blackberry
Our flow tends to be to develop the bulk of the application in the std wtk environment, then do the final porting and tweaking under a virtualised Windows environment
