Java deployment cache, XP

Default deployment cache is
C:\Documents and Settings\\Application Data\Sun\Java\Deployment\cache\ 
which is right in the middle of my XP profile space...
So, every time I do something java-ish, it'll eat up loads of space, and I get XP profile warnings.
Change location in control panel / Java, to somewhere not in profile space.  Delete old space using that panel too.
(to be honest, i'm sure it reset itself to Application Data when I wasn't looking...)

Google Mail App & Treo / Centro

Google Mail: Help Centre - Can I use the Google Mail application on my Treo?

This page pretty much explains it all - except for a few things.

So, instructions are:
1 - install JVM
2 - REBOOT!!!! it won't have the hooks from Blazer [browser] to JVM unless you do this (take the battery off)
3 - point browser (not JVM) at http://www.gmail.com/app/v1.0.0/en/gm-Palm-Treo_650.jad (or http://gmail.com/app/v1.0.0/en/gm-Generic-Advanced_MIDP2.jad - this generic version has rather dull default buttons, the Treo one has nicer buttons)
also, for now, gmail web browsing does link to 'faster gmail' at the top of the web version, which links to app download, but after the link it notes that Palm OS 5 isn't supported - i.e. you don't get link to java jad file
4 - browser will ask to SAVE it, do so
5 - have a look at JVM, it should be doing install stuff
6 - wait til it finishes, and change prefs of JVM

Done.

Annoyingly enough anyway, the URL form in the JVM install app doesn't let you type underscores (or other special characters probably) nor does it allow you to copy/paste into that form. The easiest way to get the URL onto the palm is to email it to yourself and click the link from the email...

Using NetBeans IDE 5.5 - Configuring the IDE

Rule #1 with Windows XP: change the userdir parameter straightaway, the default is in profile space...!

Pass --userdir in the shortcut.

Palm & J2ME

Palm, Inc. - WebSphere Everyplace Micro Environment for your Palm Device
Remember to install this on a Treo. And yes, you do have a Treo 650, really, you do.

Netbeans and profile space

Netbeans also decides, by default, to put it's state in the default user directory, which is in profile space.

Edit the /etc/neatbeans.conf file (it's in the Netbeans application directory, where it was installed). Change that to something nice.

I tried copying the old directory to the new location, and starting Netbeans - in the hope it would remember the settings, projects, etc. But no, it didn't. Created a new project importing old source...
