Whats the difference b/w launch.exe and Epoc.exe ? Both seem to be emulators. But launch.exe is expecting parameters in the for of pjava etc ?

Use the command line to build is my advice and then type epoc to launch the emulator.

CW makes your mmp's into mcp's (it's own make file) with makmake tool. So you have to open and close mmp's if you edit them in the ide to create a new mcp each time. I think that sucks.

Also if you want to step through your code in a debugger by inserting breakpoints then you should run the emulator from within an ide like codewarrior.

Thanks,

Somehow I thought that running using the command prompt will make us know more abt the way the code is compiled / run etc. Yet the books says something like 'Let the IDE do all the running for you - you just code the C++ part'.

Sure you can skip all the ugly command line if you want, CodeWarrior can do it for you and can also show it if you enable that option.
