Kwwika support for webOS
Originally published on blog.kwwika.com.
We've got a potential client interested in using Kwwika on HP webOS so we've been working with them to test the Kwwika JavaScript library on a platform that we've not been directly targeting. After a problem glitch with the 64bit webOS SDK (mainly JVM and PATH problems) we got the 32bit one up and running and the a webOS emulator fired up. From there Palm have created a really nifty web IDE called Ares. Ares communicates with the webOS emulator, which runs on Virtual Box, via the web browser Java plugin and it allows you to launch the application and debug it. This works surprisingly well.
The code is super-simple since it's just a normal HTML page:

And our application didn't have any UI but you can see from the log at the bottom of this screenshot that the Kwwika JavaScript library is working with webOS as expected.
