first step:

NetBeans as IDE, Mobility version
http://download.netbeans.org/netbeans/6.1/final/

Sony Ericsson SDK

Don't worry about the java language itself. When I was developing games, I was programming more like a C developer: I used the C preprocessor, put all the code in one class, preallocate everything, etc. If you know C++, you can easily learn that much from the java language as needed for mobile game programming.

Meanwhile here are some simple tutorials I wrote a few years ago:

You should join the SE developer forum as well, link in the previous post.
And also look in the sample code found in the SDK.

PS: Oh, and Sony, Ericsson and Sony-Ericsson are three different companies, don't mix it up

Sony Ericsson SDK, and java development KIT can solve the problem...

When you are familiar with C++ as you mentioned, have you used Visual Studio? I'm just curious?

It has some C++ features.

yep, if you know C++ then you almost know Java too

of course we are talking about language and not APIs. J2ME is easy to learn, however device fragmentation and various problems in Java implementations can screw whole fun (even if somebody is paying for your work). ok, I assume that you are interested in SE phones only, so you don't have to worry
