I think that for us to help you, you will need to give us more information about your problem and ask more specific questions. For instance, what do you know right now? Have you done any Java coding previously? What is tripping you up right now? Is it programming in Java or using Eclipse that is the problem?

Also, for future reference and to help you get better help here, I should tell you that you will want to avoid using urgent and ASAP in your posts as it implies that you thing that your question/problems are more important than anyone else's. Of course all questions here are equally important, and statements such as these can sometimes have the opposite effects of that which they intended.

Regardless, best of luck and welcome to the forum.

Now this is being specifically specific..

I have done some JAVA previously not of the OOP type but of the basic one.
I want to develop games and applications for mobile phones on JAVA and for that I just don't know where to type in all the coding thing. Like i don't know where to go and what to do after running Eclipse or NetBeans and once this problem is solved and my code is complete I don't know how to find the .jar or .jad or .whatsoever file to this program so that I can transfer the file to my cell phone and VOILA**!!

Are you saying you don't know how to write code in an IDE? If so, you probably have a lot to learn before writing android apps, I suggest you start with the java tutorials or a good beginner book.

Eclipse doesn't offer you a cradle in which you can make your spaceships go kaboom; Eclipse helps to to write classes (and all the method code in them) and you can tell Eclipse what third party .jar file(s) your code is using. Finally you can tell Eclipse to create a .jar file with your own code. Given your question I'm afraid that your comprehension of what progamming and program code actually is, is far too rudimentary for the task you want to accomplish (i.e. writing a game). Start with the basics ("Hello world!") and work yourself up from there. Eclipse isn't a magic bullet.

kind regards,
