Last weekend, I was wondering, how hard it would be to create a app for a featurephone/dumbphone/brick however you want to name it. I never made any application for pre-android era phones and did not have the opportunity. All i know that it can be done in Java. I never actually programmed in java either, but I decided to give it a shot.
Setting up the IDE
I thought that this would take much longer, and I will probably need to create a VM with something like windows xp, however i found a easy to follow tutorial with working download links that helped me setup the environment in less than 30 minutes. I was suprised that it worked without issue even on windows 10. If you also want to setup J2ME environment here is the link to youtube (author disallows playback on external sites :/)
