Hmm, I don't think SE paid any money to Synergenix just to include the 
mophun engine...

Yes, but with java it's easier to make a bad implementation :-)

Anyway, once I was thinking to write a new Java VM for the symbian 
phones. By implementing all the nice API's one could use MIDP2 or BT api 
on a 3650... that would be cool imho. Do you know if anybody started 
such project?

setedit, I use a bash script (which has a lot of options), setedit 
executes the script, shows the error outut, jumps to the correct line (I 
also made a very bugy, but mostly working script to recalculate the 
correct line numbers from the java error output).
