• Just install the SDK, look and work great.

  In the past, many have asked for Windows Mobile support, and it is great that it finally arrived. However I like to find out what Java support is there for Windows Mobile (that doesn't seem to have much information on this from the help system) eg mp3, 3d, sms etc.

  The concept of RecordStore is applicable for less powerful phone, but smartphone is getting more powerful. Is there a more better and flexible persistence system planned (heard one is coming for JavaFX) ?

  There is also lack of Mp3 audio support among supported medias. Will this be added in final release ? JavaFX mobile support mp3 and so I thought why this SDK yet to explicitly support MP3.

• C:\Java_ME_platform_SDK_3.0_EA is the default install location. Any reason why this SDK should not reside in Program Files?

  I question the utility of having the system tray icon for the device manager since the only options are restart and exit. The "device manager" option is constantly grayed out.

  The data directory is "javeme-sdk" and ".javame-sdk" directly in the users directory. Using UNIX conventions on Windows is really getting old and Sun does it for all its products (Netbeans, this, VirtualBox).

• But I am a little bit disappointed:

  1. I found it does not support preprocess, like //#ifdef

  2. on-device debugging, it seems only support windows mobile device, and I found I could not set break point in the which is is ridiculous!

  Another question, how can we integrate the SDK into the Netbeans?

• 1. This is on purpose to keep development environment in SDK simple. If users need a full featured IDE for ME development Netbeans Mobility pack is the best choice. We decided to share the same project type which means easy transition to mobility pack.
  2. Yes it only supports windows mobile right now , because on device features require built-in support in jvm and only windows mobile devices allow to install jvm. If other device manufacturers want to use on-device features an agent must be incorporated into their jvm.
  3. SDK can be integrated into netbeans through platform manager, in the same way as it used to be for wtk 2.5.x. Also Netbeans is necessary if you want to debug. SDK just runs emulator in debug mode it doesn't include debugger. Use Attach debugger from netbeans.

• I would like to test Cdc examples from Java ME platform SDK 3.0 on real device. What kind of device I have to use(hardware,os)? And which jvm I need?
  Thanks.

  Hi, Tomas!

  I have some (Q)uestions, (S)uggestions and a serious (B)ug:

  1.Q) It's possible edit font size (editor)?

  2.S) If not is possible "Run in Debug Mode", I suggest remove the icon from Toolbar.

  3.S) There are icons that do not change after "Small Toolbar Icons" ("Run in Debug Mode" and "Run Main Project via OTA"). I suggest revision.

  4.B) Tools > Java Plataforms > Add Plataform > Java ME MIDP Platform Emulator > NEXT = NullPointerException! Already fixed in Netbeans 6.7 (#157839).

  Thanks

• Hi Thomas
  I've found another bug: Calendar now = Calendar.getInstance(); returns always the 1.1.1970 when I run the Application in the SDK 3.0. Is there any catch or workaround for that?
