Sun Opens Java ME Tools To Developers
Sun, which also launched an incubator project, said its Lightweight UI Toolkit for its Java ME platform will be offered under the GPLv2 license.
After releasing Development environments like Java Studio 12 and NetBeans 6 Now Sun Microsystems has also made it easy for the mobile developers by launching J2ME IDE
While Java ME has been become the most widely adopted mobile application platform, there can still be some difficulties in creating programs for multiple devices because of differences in things like fonts, menus, and layouts.
Sun Microsystems is hoping to enable developers to create a single interface that will work anywhere Java ME is found. To do this, the company released Thursday an open source development toolkit dubbed “Light-Weight UI Toolkit,” or LWUIT.
“By creating LWUIT, Sun is reaffirming its commitment to the mobile development community and by open-sourcing the LWUIT code, we are enabling mobile developers to quickly and easily create rich, portable interfaces for their applications — functionality that they have been requesting for some time,” said Craig Gering, Sun’s senior director of embedded Java software, in a statement.
