Tauschke MobileCreator
Build your mobile application
MobileCreator is an IDE that is designed to be used with SuperWaba 5. The project management lets you create a project within seconds! Because SuperWaba is a VM that supports Windows, Windows CE and PalmOS real cross-platform development is possible. You need only a few mouseclicks to get your first application running. Never use the command line and batch files of SuperWaba again.
You can create your own Class-Templates. So you can extend the Class Wizard to your needs. Add an About-Window with only a few mouseclicks. You just have to write your template - and you can reuse it as often as you need.

First steps.
To use Tauschke MobileCreator you have to set the SuperWaba and JDK Path. To do it start MobileCreator and choose "Settings" from the "Project" menu. The Settings Dialog appears. Select "Paths" from the tabs at the top and choose the paths for SuperWaba, JDK and POSE. The SuperWaba and the JDK path must be the root directory of the installations. For SuperWaba that means you must select the path which is named "SuperwabaSDK". The correct JDK path contains the directories bin","demo", "include","include-old","jre" and "lib". Then choose the "Emulator.exe" from your Palm Emulator installation. By the way: don't forget to install SuperWaba on your emulator and save this session. If there is no SuperWaba installed you can't run your application with the emulator.
Create your first project
OK now you'll see how fast you can create your first Palm application! Choose "New..." from the "Project" menu. The "New Project" dialog appears.
Enter the name of your project (e.g. "MyFirstApp"). Choose the project path. MobileCreator creates a folder with the projects name in this directory. All files (graphics and java-files) will be stored in this folder. Check "Create MainWindow Class" (if it is not checked). If this is checked MobileCreator uses the MainWindow template to create the MainWindow for your application. Click OK. The file will be created.
Hey, and that's it! To start your application click the "Green Flag" at the icon bar. If you want to view your program in the Palm Emulator select "Palm Emulator" from the drop down menu first.
To add a new class (let's say you want to add an "About Window") choose "File/New..." and the "Class Wizard" opens. Select the Window class and and type "About" into the edit field ("Name"). Click OK. As you can see at the left file list MobileCreates has created a new file for you using the "Window" template. Add the code to your application you need to show your new window.
To save your project you should use the menu entry "Save all" or the button (the one with two floppy disks). This makes sure that everything is saved to your project folder (all java files and the project file). Everytime you start your application MobileCreator does this automatically for you.
