Java on PDA (Windows Mobile 5.0)

I have searched all over the site to get an answer to a couple of questions - being new to Java and the site appologies in advance if I.m asking questions that have been answered before.

Q1

Will Java run on win Mobile 5.x - I have bought a Dell Axim x51v or v51x with a vga display specifically to prototype an application which I had written in Delphi (5) only to find out there's no way to get it on a mobile device - so being totally unwilling to go down the BG Studio route I have started to learn Java using Netbeans 5.5 - but I am not sure if Java will run on this OS - I must have Graphics & Hotspots (graphical ones not wireless thingies.. must have access to local data set for look up tables & hopefully a remote synch to an sql database..

Q2

If Java will run can I use Swing etc or will I have to use one of the mobile versions of Java - if so which one ?

Q3

Assuming there is a positive answer to Q1 is there an Emulator for the Axiom 640 x 480 ?

Any help, advise would be greatly appreciated - learning another language - especially an oops one at my age may well invalidate my life insurance policy.

Thanks in advance

Richard

Yes, and no. You can get JME for PPC, and some editions of J2SE. But they are not all free.

Some do, some don't.

What kind of Emulator do you want? I have had a C64, Amiga and Gameboy emulators on my HTC Wizard.

If you are only targeting you device, I recomend learning C#, and using .NET CE.
