Quick gvSIG Mobile Install
The present chapter explains how to install gvSIG Mobile.
gvSIG Mobile Requires a Java Virtual Machine (VM) to run. gvSIG Mobile have been tested on IBM's J9 and SUN's PhoneME Advanced.
There are three different installers:
- gvSIG Mobile with PhoneMe included. Includes gvSIG Mobile and PhoneME VM. It's the easiest and quickest option.
- gvSIG Mobile J9 compatible. gvSIG Mobile version for J9 VM.
- gvSIG Mobile PhoneMe compatible. gvSIG Mobile version for PhoneME VM.
If you want to use an installer without included VM, you will have to install it separately.
NOTE:
- If installed VM and gvSIG Mobile installer don't match, strange behaviours may happen.
