As described above, once you built the development environment described in Section 1, the overall workflow is
the same as other platforms – creating project, source coding, build, and install package creation. For creating the
install packages, there are useful tools already made available in the Zaurus developer community.

) You may want to take a look at the “Development” section to find some useful tools for
your development.
