NetBeans Mobility Developer Community
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.
