Make your own CLDC/MIDP emulator
As you know, Java Wireless Toolkit provides emulators for CLDC/MIDP and also most manufacturers' emulators are directly based on WTK with added phone-specific profiles.
Matthew Kumar instead proposes to make your own emulator to speed up the development process. This was done by implementing a thin layer on top of Java SE that emulates the CLDC/MIDP-specific classes (and I guess also other JSR classes, based on need). As then no pre-verification is needed, and potentially no compilation either, the building process becomes faster.
You even get the emulator for free under the new "WTFPL" license. Check out the readme for an explanation.
