The J2ME Wireless Toolkit is a collection of tools and device emulators that
support the development of Java applications that run on devices compliant with
the Mobile Device Information Profile (MIDP). Such devices include cellular
phones, two-way pagers, and personal digital assistants (PDAs).
The J2ME Wireless Toolkit version 2.2 is installed in the NetBeans IDE as
the default emulator.
The Toolkit uses the Java SDK, Standard
Edition (J2SETM SDK) compiler to compile your
source files and provides device emulators to simulate the performance of a
MIDP application, as well as tools that help you monitor and improve the performance
of your application.
The Wireless Toolkit supports testing with several key features:
The Wireless Toolkit can simulate several devices that take on a variety
of form factors: cell phones, pagers, and palmtops. This helps you learn what
type of experience users can expect and verify the portability of your application
across different devices.
The Wireless Toolkit supports tracing and debugging with run-time logging
of various events, such as garbage collection, class loading, method calls,
and exceptions. You can also perform source-level debugging with an IDE while
an application runs in the Wireless Toolkit.
The Wireless Toolkit enables you to collect information that you can examine
to optimize the performance of your MIDP applications. Performance tuning
utilities include profiling methods and monitoring memory usage and network
traffic. Also included is the ability to adjust the speed settings for graphic
rendering and refreshing as well as VM speed emulation and network throughput.
You can access the preferences and utilities of the J2ME Wireless Toolkit
in the Tools & Extensions tab of the Java Platform Manager.
