Evolution of development tools for Mobile Java
Recent press releases about Eclipse and NetBeans showing evolution of features for mobile Java development. Of course these tools can be used for much more than that.
Eclipse:
Mobile Tools for the Java Platform (MTJ) Project - This new DSDP project will provide frameworks for runtime management of devices and emulators, build management and deployment of J2ME applications, mobile device debugging, application creation wizards, UI design tools, localization, and mobile security extensions. The initial release is scheduled for June and will focus on runtime management, build and deployment of J2ME applications.
NetBeans:
Currently, while NetBeans has scripting support it is all within the Java realm. We are now extending that scripting support outside Java to C and C++. One of the reasons is that NetBeans has a strong following in mobile dev space, and that is still a fragmented sector. Devs are not just writing Java for mobile devices but are working with other languages, such as C and C++ to support devices and even carrier partners.
This is the first time we’ve supported J2ME, J2EE, J2SE and SOA on Mac.
