S60 Open to new features

There are a couple of upcoming java developer events where you can spot the members of the S60 java team.

EclipseCon 2008 is the annual gathering of  the Eclipse open source community. I will be hosting, together with Majumder Deeptendu, a tutorial on developing applications using embedded Rich Client Platform (eRCP).  Our java team actively participates on the eRCP project. eSWT, which Aleksi has blogged about earlier, is the first part of out of our open source efforts in eRCP that has become a resident part of java platform earlier. The tutorial will cover eRCP on most part but there is a growing request for eSWT specific material that we have not anticipated for when preparing our proposals for the conference. We will also include a quick introduction to eSWT use on MIDP in the tutorial in order not to frustrate our eSWT crowd. Apart from the tutorial, I will also present a short eRCP project update. If you are attending the EclipseCon, I will be glad to meet you.

Later in May 2008, java team will be present in the JavaOne 2008. We will have several technical sessions and BOFs. You should also expect a satisfactory S60 presence on the exhibitor's pavilion. I will not describe these activities in detail in this post. They deserve their own post but here is a teaser for that post, one of our technical sessions is about the use of touch in mobile java applications!
