OpenBaseMovil
We haven't checked it out so let me know what it's like if you do.
I wish people would stop using the J2ME acronym, it just confuses things!
OpenBaseMovil is a free, GPL licensed, application framework for fast and seamless development of J2ME mobile applications.
Features:
- a powerful database engine, which can hold hundreds of thousands of data in multi megabyte databases.
- a scripting engine, so you can easily extend and create applications, and in the near future run them on any other mobile platform such as Android or Windows Mobile.
- a declarative view definition language, with a simple xml file you can generate all of your views, and they are script and data aware: you can browse a set of results with less than ten lines of code.
- and much more, like task control, files over RecordSets with random access capabilities, floating point support, internationalization, ...

Hmm, the licensing page is a complete copy (including prices) of the J2MEPolish one. They're both GPL, but still, EXACTLY the same terms and fees...?

Hi Jason,
Thanks for mentioning our project. I would prefer to say JavaME or Java Mobile, for example, but the truth is that people are used to J2ME and everyone searches for J2ME. So, you have to use J2ME around your site if you want people to find you while searching.
Blame it to Sun :-)
Wolf,
The commercial project BaseMovil is a mature one, and OpenBaseMovil inherits the benefits of a well proven, production quality framework. But OpenBaseMovil itself is pretty new. The licensing page is not a EXACT copy of the J2MEPolish one, though it is very similar. We though that their licensing model and prices were good ones, so we took them as a starting point.
People started asking about the prices and we had to do something, this was a fast approach that we have to still refine.
But I must point to a definitive difference between them: the Developer Program. Their is still not available and it's just a commercial distribution of software. Ours is open in closed beta, and it's a complete business model that includes the hosting, distribution and commercialization of applications and their databases. It also includes the access to the synchronization engine, the single part of BaseMovil that is not in OpenBaseMovil.
J2MEPolish is a great framework for gui and games, OpenBaseMovil is great framework for enterprise-class applications, that includes a J2ME Database engine and other things that J2MEPolish does not.
We think that, though they target different markets, pricing it higher than J2MEPolish will be too much, but we also think that we are offering more, so you get more for the same price.
We're open to your comments and suggestions, we're just starting with OpenBaseMovil and the feedback is being great though there's still a lot to do.
