I am looking for advice on the best route to do Java programming for the
Palm platform. Free or cheap is the best solution for me. However, I will
look at any suggestions given.

	What sort of development are you looking to do?  Palm development 
usually entails one of the following possibilities:

	1) Writing an application that will run on a PalmOS device,
	2) Writing a host application that can talk to a PalmOS device
	   to synchronize data, or
	3) (Most often) Both 1 & 2 above.

	Some details as to what sort of development you're interested in doing 
would be helpful in doling out correct advice :).

It would be #1 at the moment. Probably #3 in the not so distant (1 year)
future.

	SuperWaba looks pretty good from what I've seen 
(http://www.superwaba.com.br)  I haven't used it personally, mind you.

	Currently all of my Palm-Java efferts go into the #2 part 
(communication with the host, and parsing of data formats) through the 
jSyncManager Project (http://www.jsyncmanager.org).  So when you get to 
that point in your project, drop me a line.
