World’s First Automated Java To BREW Porting Solution For Mobile Applications
Innaworks, provider of tools for the mobile software developer, has launched an updated version of its automated Java-to-BREW conversion platform, alcheMo.
According to the company, alcheMo for BREW version 2.1 supports HTTP/HTTPS and File Connection APIs (JSR-75). Additionally, it includes pre-production support for sockets and TCP, Location Based Services (JSR-179) and Personal Information Services (JSR-75). This new version of alcheMo is the world’s first product in the category that specifically targets the unique needs of the mobile application industry.
The mobile game and the mobile application markets have distinctly different needs and requirements. “Unlike mobile games, mobile applications have a long shelf life. Mobile applications are typically extended and maintained throughout the product lifetime,” said Stephen Cheng, CEO of Innaworks. “Total lifecycle cost, time to market and extensibility are critical for their long time success. alcheMo matches these requirements and provides a unique solution,” he further added.
With alcheMo, mobile application developers can target multiple mobile platforms, including Java ME and BREW, using a single code base. Innaworks is also currently extending alcheMo to support the Apple iPhone platform.
alcheMo for BREW incorporates a patent-pending optimizing translator to convert Java ME application source code to equivalent C++ application source code for BREW. Compiled using a standard BREW tool-chain and linked with alcheMo’s optimized run-time library, alcheMo produces a native BREW application.
