I cut my teeth so to speak with eclipse.
Learning Java and even programming mobile devices using Eclipse was a rewarding experince. My last and not so favorable encounter using this platform was Pulsar. But all references to it has disappeared in the new version of Eclipse called indigo. I just like to know if anyone still recommends eclipse when programming mobile device whether J2ME or any other device?
You can continue using Eclipse for developing mobile applications with Indigo release as well. Eclipse Pulsar was a packaging of several Eclipse projects for a providing an all in one download. Pulsar package is discontinued on the indigo release because it lacked the volunteers to support it. However all the projects that were part of the Pulsar are available on indigo release with their new versions.
For JavaME development you can install the eclipse MTJ (mobile tools of Java) using the eclipse update manager.
