[ercp-dev] Enhancing the eSWT experience for MIDlet developers

[Gorkem Ercan <gercan@xxxxxxx>]

Hi,
As you may know, since some of the adopters of eRCP project (such as
Nokia S60) started shipping eSWT with their platforms. eRCP has gained
a MIDP community. However I feel that so far we have not worked on
providing better experience to MIDP developers when they are using
eSWT (or any other eRCP technology). I would like to start a
concentrated effort on providing better utility APIs for MIDP
developers. Some areas that comes to my mind are

1. Providing MIDlet helpers so that the plumbing code for using eSWT is hidden
2. Create a port of eJFace for MIDlet use.
3. Make it easier to port applications between MIDlets and eRCP
applications (single sourcing)

As always this is a community effort and the whole eRCP community is
invited to help, test and provide ideas.
