NetBeans IDE Support for Java ME Developers

NetBeans Mobility can be used to write, test, debug and deploy applications for Java Micro Edition (Java ME) platform enabled consumer mobile and embedded devices. It supports the two base configurations of the Java ME platform:

  • Connected Limited Device Configuration (CLDC) is for devices with less memory and processing power than CDC-based devices. The Mobile Information Device Profile (MIDP) is based on CLDC and more than a billion MIDP devices are available worldwide.
  • Connected Device Configuration (CDC) is for devices with much greater memory, processing power and network connectivity such as smart phones, set-top boxes, internet appliances, and embedded servers.

The Mobility IDE comes bundled with the Sun Java Wireless Toolkit for CLDC as the default emulator, but the NetBeans Platform Manager makes it easy to integrate third-party emulators from Sony-Ericsson, Nokia and others to customize and expand your Java ME application testing environment.

Resources for Mobility Pack Users

  • The NetBeans Java ME Features page has information about supported technologies for mobile application development and a link to download the latest version of the IDE.
  • The Mobile Applications Learning Trail has links to tutorials, demos and other resources for developers who want to learn how to use NetBeans Mobility for MIDP/CLDC and CDC application development.
  • Mobility Pack User Mailing List for asking questions and getting answers about using the IDE.
  • Report Bugs about performance issues and request enhancements in NetBeans Mobility.
