Java developement on a pocketPC / palm

hi, I'm thinking of getting either a palm m125 or a decent similary priced pocketPC the lite version of the dell axim x5 seems to be very good for my budget/requirements

now I was wondering if it were possible to do any java developement on this kind of thing, I'm not really thinking about a compiler because it would be hard to fit, take up loads of space and will be terribly slow, BUT I would like to know if there is any tool such as textpad for a pocketPC (so it has coloured code and a spell checker (kind of a precompile-debugger for caps, ";" etc (Y'kno java being pickey etc bout those stuff and me being lazy about that stuff 😉

for the palm i'm just searching a very good writing program for it (the standard note taking thing is rather awkward for java writing ...)

then I would just export it to my Pc at home and compile and run it there (this is mostly for in-classroom developement and on-the-road idea implementation)

offcourse if anyone know a compiler that would be just TOO wonderfull (I seriously doubt it tho, hehe)


and as a sidenote, I never wrote on a pocketPc before (I did on palm with the grafiti stuff, pretty neat) but does a pocketPC also utilise a grafiti system or something similar or does it mainly use an on screen keyboard (and if so how good is this implemented into most apps, cous I think the on screen keyboard will be more usable for java writing, simpley because of the huge amount of writing)
 
I'm interested in something like this too.

I've been considering installing familiar linux on my ipaq for quite a while now - the advantage of that being that there are already plenty of capable java IDEs for linux (ex. emacs) that would work on the ipaq. You could also probably get a java compiler to run on the ipaq if you had a big enough memory card or a hard drive in a pcmcia sleeve.

Of course, this could just turn out to be an incredible waste of time. In any case I would recommend getting a foldable external keyboard for whichever model PDA you get. It is much more effiecient than trying to write on the screen.
