We all know about Java and the wave it had created in the programming industry some time back. It was actually the first programming language that was completely object oriented. Since that time Java has evolved as one of the most secured programming language for the development of web based applications and as it is platform independent Java applications can run on any Browser.
Today Java is the most used programming language for the development of mobile based applications and launch of some tools have not only made the programming simpler but it has also escalated the quality of the mobile apps. Today we will discuss about some of the tools that has done this job fantastically.
Codename One
Are you an iOS device fan and want to create app for those devices in Java? Then Codename One is the best tool that provides you complete solution using which you can directly run your developed app on the iOS devices. Enterprise application development in java for mobile devices has got a new trend because of this tool.
Not only for iOS the app developed using Codename One can be run on mobile devices running with any operating system without changing any codes.
RoboVM
This is again a good command line tool that helps app built using Java coding to run on iOS device, but the procedure is different. It first compiles the class files of Java and then after converting it into machine code it helps in the deployment of the app on iOS devices.
The tool also has Eclipse plugin that allows the compilation and running of the app on the iOS devices directly from Eclipse. Java web application development Indian companies use this tools very widely as it has many robust features.
The tools has been launched very recently so if you don’t have good knowledge about it, then it would be a tough game to master it. Moreover, the documentation part of the tool is also not completely ready for the beginners.
J2ObjC
This cannot be considered as the tool that allows to run Java applications or iOS devices but then also using this your application will run on iOS device. This tool was designed by Google that has the capability of converting Java codes to Objective-C codes that is supported by iOS devices.
It means you will be writing the codes in Java, but the command line tool will convert it to the language that is understood by iOS devices. Most of the Java software development company team is using the same tool as it is easy and available free of cost.
All the above mentioned tools are tested and recommended by the experts of the industry. So, if you are a Java professional then you don’t have to feel like left out and without bearing the pain of learning new programming language you can still develop amazing mobile applications using Java programming language.
