Create BlackBerry applications with open source tools, Part 2: Building an RSS reader
In the same way that open source has revolutionized the software development marketplace, the proliferation of alternative news sources has shaken up the traditional news-source monopolies. Today, you can get free news from various Internet sources and from the Internet outlets of the mainstream media. Trekking from one Web site to another to read news stories is possible, but tedious. And what about updates to news stories of interest? Wouldn't it be better if the news of interest is aggregated for your convenience? You can do it with an RSS reader for BlackBerry. Here in Part 2 of this "Create BlackBerry applications with open source tools" series, explore the RSS data-distribution format by creating a BlackBerry RSS reader suitable for taking news wherever you and your BlackBerry go. 		17 Feb 2009

Develop eSWT-based applications for the Nokia S60 smartphone
The Java Platform, Micro Edition (Java ME) is a ubiquitous application platform for embedded devices, and many modern mobile phones are capable of running these types of applications. The embedded Standard Widget Toolkit, or eSWT, is an Eclipse technology that can be used to develop native-looking Java applications for a variety of mobile phones. eSWT is developed as part of the embedded Rich Client Platform (eRCP) project, which as a whole is only supported on devices running Microsoft Windows Mobile and Windows CE operating system. However, standalone eSWT libraries are available on all devices running a recent version of Nokia's S60 platform, currently one of the leading smartphone platforms in the world. This tutorial demonstrates how to develop eSWT-based applications with the help of the newly released Eclipse Mobile Tools for Java (MTJ) and Nokia's S60 Platform SDK. 		16 Dec 2008

Migrate your Swing application to SWT
One of the reasons for the success of the Eclipse platform is the performance of its user interface compared to other Java applications. The SWT is a key contributor to that success. SWT allows you to build cross-platform user interfaces that are as rich as Swing UIs and that perform as well as native UIs, but the toolkit does have a drawback: SWT is not compatible with AWT and Swing. Java developer and Eclipse enthusiast Yannick Saillet offers this comprehensive, hands-on guide to porting a Swing application to SWT using extensive code samples to illustrate the techniques. 		19 Jan 2004
