C.2 Emulated Locale
The microedition.locale property is the MIDP system property that defines the current locale of the device, which is null by default. For the J2ME Wireless Toolkit emulator, this value is automatically set to the default locale for the J2SE environment you are running. For example:
■If you are running in an English system in the US, the microedition.locale is set to
■If you are running in a French system, the microedition.locale is set to
For information on microedition.locale, consult the MIDP specification.
You can override the default value by adding the microedition.locale property to the file {toolkit}\wtklib\{platform}\ktools.properties file and define the property as desired, as shown in the following examples:
microedition.locale=null
For details on setting a default locale, see the J2ME Wireless Toolkit Basic
Customization Guide.
C.3 Character Encodings
The CLDC system property, microedition.encoding, defines the default character encoding name of the MIDP environment. In the J2ME Wireless Toolkit emulator, this property is set according to the underlying window system you are using. The property’s value is set to the default encoding for the J2SE environment running on the same window system. For example, in an English window system, the encoding setting is
microedition.encoding=ISO8859_1
You can override the default value by adding the microedition.encoding property to the {toolkit}\wtklib\{platform}\ktools.properties file. For example, if you want to use
For more information on character encoding, see the CLDC specification.
