Tools and Third-Party Products for J2ME Application
Development
In addition to the Sun SDKs, several other J2ME SDKs, IDEs, and related products from other
vendors are available. We'll discuss a number of these tools and products in this section.
Sun's J2ME Wireless Toolkit 1.0.3
The J2ME Wireless Toolkit is a project management tool intended to simplify MIDP development.
It can perform the compile and preverification steps automatically, including the generation of the
JAR and JAD files. It is not a complete Integrated Development Environment (IDE), so it does not
offer an editor. The MIDP SDK is included in the Wireless Toolkit, but the JDK version 1.3 is
also required.
In addition to the MIDP SDK, the Wireless Toolkit contains some additional skins for the device
emulation (see
Figure 1.2
)
. The additional skins are a pager with a complete keyboard and cell
phone emulation with a thumbwheel, as well as support for the Palm OS Emulator, RIM pagers,
and Motorola cell phones.
