J2ME Clie TJ37

Hi,
this is my first foray into the J2ME world so please be patient.
I own a Clie TJ37 (Palm OS 5.2) and was wondering what J2ME
implementations were available?
I know of only MIDP4Palm which seems fairly old (Palm OS 3.5+). Is
there any newer implementations? There is the Websphere Micro Edition
but that seems to only support Palm Pilots and not Clies.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'm not sure, but you might be able to use IBM's WME on the Clie. The
MIDP4Palm implementation you mention is for the MIDP 1.0 specification.

Thanks for the reply.
I'll have to try it out and see what happens. As mentioned I won't be
able to get my hands on IBM's Websphere Micro Edition and consequently
JARTOPRC from it. Does anyone know if you can get JARTOPRC outside of
the websphere product?
Thanks,
Hubert
