Java ME Developer Guide

Chapter 3 - Developing and Packaging Java ME Applications

Configuration (CLDC) and Mobile Information Device Profile (MIDP). Both of these specifications (JSR - Java Specification Requests) can be located at the http://www.jcp.org/ site for reading.

∙For MIDP 1.0; JSR-37 should be reviewed.

∙For MIDP 2.0; JSR-118 should be reviewed.

∙For CLDC 1.0.4; JSR-30 should be reviewed.

∙For CLDC 1.1; JSR-139 should be reviewed.

For beginning development, key points to remember are memory size, processing power, screen capabilities and wireless network characteristics. These all play an im- portant part in the development of a MIDlet. The specifications listed above are de- signed to work upon devices that have these characteristics.

Network conditions would only apply for networked applications such as streaming tickers, email clients, etc.

In addition to the specifications, arrays of tools are available to assist the develop- ment cycle. These range from the command line tools provided with by Software De- velopment Kits (SDK) from Sun to Integrated Development Environments (IDEs) which can be free or purchased. These IDEs come from a range of sources such as Sun, IBM and Borland to name a few.

In addition to the IDEs and Sun SDK for development, Motorola offers access to our own SDK which contains Motorola device emulators. From here, a MIDlet can be built and then deployed onto an emulated target handset. This will enable debugging and validation of the MIDlet before deployment to a real, physical handset. The latest Mo- torola SDK can be downloaded from the MOTODEV website.

Please refer to the product specifications at the end of this guide for detailed inform- ation on each handset.
