Chapter 5. Java ME SDKs for Symbian OS
There are many tools for Java development that have a power and quality that supersedes tools for other development technologies. Java ME development tools leverage the existing Java development tools by integrating Java ME software development kits (SDKs) with the standard Java tools and IDEs. That makes the job of Java developers probably more comfortable and productive than that of other developers.
Symbian OS provides a common Java ME platform for many phone manufacturers but there is no single common Java ME SDK for Symbian OS devices. Instead, each of the phone manufacturers ships its own SDK. The difference between the various SDKs might not be that big. When choosing an SDK, the target devices are a primary factor, along with the number or quality of the accompanying tools and documentation.
Phone manufacturers create a Java ME SDK that includes an emulator which can be integrated with standard Java IDE (using the Unified Emulator Interface). They complement the SDK with additional tools, documentation and examples and take steps to ensure that Java applications can be developed easily for their platform.
As a developer, you can pick from a number of SDKs. This chapter discusses the various phone manufacturers' Java ME SDKs, providing a high-level overview; you can find more detail in the SDKs' manuals and documentation. We assume that you have installed an SDK and used NetBeans or Eclipse in previous Java development so we do not cover ...
