Re: Java Over EDB9315A (cirrus logic Board)
Opie is based on Qt, is that correct? If yes, both of the Java ME stacks in our community, phoneME Feature as well as phoneME Advanced, support Linux and Qt. I am not sure how much work exactly has to be done to port either to an Opie platform but the effort should be fairly moderate. So first you'll need to decide if you require a CLDC/MIDP stack (phoneME Feature) or a CDC/PP/PBP stack (phoneME Advanced) and then look at the appropriate project, download the code, and start experimenting yourself. You'll get help from our developers monitoring the forums . Hope this helps. — 

Managing versioned resources
I have been working on a system to do all the tedious activities involved in maintaining a WebStart application with versioned resources. What I propose does not depend on any particular build system (although it could be wrapped/invoked by them). Given the resources and jnlp file(s) it will compare them with the existing content of a repository (the download area), assign versions to new resources, add version entries to jar files, sign and pack them (if required), and update the version.xml files.
I have some preliminary documentation here. — 

Re: Develop in Java or not?
You should also consider the availability of programmers in your area. I know about eight years ago when I was finishing up my undergrad most schools were making a shift to Java as the main programming language taught. Starting a small programming business you really need to look at what resources you have, what best solves the customers needs (see the list of it has, it doesn't have above), and in the end what you are most comfortable. In my own opinion you need to look at your situation as what can you do now to best serve this one client while still setting you up with the biggest advantage for the next.  —
