J2ME MIDP Development for NetBeans IDE 4.0

Quick Links

Use the NetBeans Mobility Pack 4.0 to write, test, and debug applications for Java™ technology-enabled mobile devices. It integrates support for the Mobile Information Device Profile (MIDP) 2.0, the Connected, Limited Device Configuration (CLDC) 1.1 and code obfuscation with the new projects system and improved performance of the NetBeans IDE 4.0 development environment. This release simplifies coding with templates for MIDlet and MIDlet suites, and provides code completion against Java™ 2 Platform, Micro Edition (J2ME™ platform) packages. It solves device fragmentation problems by enabling you to edit and compile custom configurations for each device. You can easily integrate third-party emulators for a robust testing environment.

Features

Project support, built on Apache Ant. Organizes your MIDP source code and project metadata for easier coding and management. Projects also enable you to build your project outside of the IDE.

Integration with the J2ME Wireless Toolkit 2.2, providing support for advanced development features such as MIDlet signing, certificate management, integrated over-the-air (OTA) emulation, push registry emulation, Wireless Messaging and Multimedia APIs, and WMA emulation features for SMS and CBS messages.

A solution for device fragmentation - Develop your applications for multiple devices by adding and executing device-specific code as configurations within a single application.

Support for MIDP localization - enables you to add locale-specific components to your application.

Support for J2ME MIDP 2.0 and CLDC 1.1 standards.

Support for adding third party emulator platforms - Test your application on a variety of target device emulators by leading manufacturers.

Integrated obfuscation and optimization support - adds security, improves performance, and optimizes the size of your application.

Over-The-Air (OTA) Download Testing - The emulator simulates the behavior of real mobile devices.
