Java or JavaScript? They are two very different things.

Does this have an advantage over using the GWT to generate HTML etc. from java?

I tried to download the source, and got the exception too:

SyntaxError: illegal character

###BEGIN_JSON###

…;org.eclipse.swt.Request.getInstance().setTimeoutPage( ”

The server session timed out.

Please click here to restart the session.

I tried to download the source. I copied the plug-ins from the runtime.rwt folder into my workspace and removed the original ones from my run configuration. There were around 4 compile errors but i tried to fix them by adding a few methods to the ITreeAdapter interface and implement them (without understanding the logic in them completely though).
Sadly i end up with something like this:
“Could not evaluate javascript response:

SyntaxError: illegal character

###BEGIN_JSON###
{
…;org.eclipse.swt.Request.getInstance().setTimeoutPage( ”

The server session timed out.

Please click here to restart the session.
” );var wm….”

Have you got any ideas on what could be missing?

Hello. I am looking for someone who can take a digital game written using Java and make it playable on the iPad.
Please email me at: jklamer@att.net if you might be of assistance. Thank you.

But translating Code into IPhone code it’s against Apples License politics. So, with this you can’t put your app in the AppStore.

Another way to develop in Java for iPhone/iPad is to translate Java application to C by some tool (e.g., JCGO). But the question is: SWT supports Cocoa on Mac OS X, is it hard to port SWT to iPhone/iPad?
