The UIQ 2.0 SDK supports native development in C++. To use the SDK you will need to obtain separately a compiler for the PC-based emulator. Such a compiler is available as part of IDEs provided by Metrowerks (CodeWarrior). You can target phones based on UIQ 2.0 equally with a UIQ 2.1 SDK. Further information on the UIQ 2.1 SDK

In addition to your UIQ SDK you will need to obtain a JDK and the Java Wireless Toolkit from Sun. These provide the necessary compilation tools. Go to the Sun J2ME website

The UIQ 2.0 SDK supports development for the UIQ PersonalJava runtime. The runtime is based on the PersonalJava Application Environment 1.1.1a specification, details of which can be obtained from Sun.

If you experience problems
The download mechanisms for our SDKs are thoroughly tested each time that we make a new SDK available for download. As a result, any problems that are experienced during download are frequently due to factors beyond Symbian's control - i.e. local firewall, routing or proxy server configurations.
However, if you do experience continued problems with the download of the SDK - having attempted a direct FTP download from your FTP client - then please contact us giving full details of the steps you have taken and any error messages that you have received. We will investigate your problem to ascertain whether the cause can be attributed to Symbian's network. Contact Webmaster
