For me, Java is just NO. plain and simple - no java ever. The only iteration of Java I find 'acceptable' is javascript but propper java on a device: sorry - no...
I know what you mean, but I have bit the bullet, and am now also learning Java + Eclipse IDE to make some programs for my tablet. This is until I can find something suitable with Pascal and Android...

I have been spoiled with Pascal, Java doesn't even have unsigned types like Byte (unsigned), Word, LongWord, only signed integers! This is causing some pain when trying to convert some Pascal code to Java

I am also trying Project Cooper beta, but I am having trouble getting my head around the Delphi Prism syntax Also, quite frankly, doing something with Java + Eclipse is rather nice (ignoring the language issues)...Eclipse is very user friendly once you get used to it, mainly hints with errors It gives you one or more fixes for errors that you can just click on and implement!!

cheers,
