J2me developing via android phone

Question

I want to develop applications for Nokia devices like Nokia c2-01 using my Android device. My question is if it possible, and if so, which work environment is recommended?

Thanks.

There is Java ME to Android bridge, known as J2AB, which contains the Java ME API wrapper to translate into corresponding Android API. But the J2AB is quite limited and you can adjust and implement more Java ME API support into J2AB source codes easily. Link: https://app.assembla.com/spaces/j2ab/wiki/Converting_From_J2ME.

Other framework that creates Android App is MicroEmu. The difference with J2AB is it draws the Java ME UI components into the Android Canvas entirely, not translating to native Android UI components. For using this, you have to use the microemu-android package to build. Link: http://microemu.blogspot.com.br/2009/08/converting-javame-applications-to.html.

The basic to develop Java ME applications, the Sun Java Wireless Toolkit is generally used. You can download at http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/download-135801.html. And use the NetBeans or Eclipse IDE with Java ME plugins loaded for easy Java ME development. Sorry, I don't know if the IDE for developing Java ME source codes exists for Android, only for Windows or Linux desktop computers.
