MOTODEV Studio for Java™ ME is the preferred tool for Java ME application development on Motorola handsets. However, for some older handsets not covered by MOTODEV Studio for Java ME, The Motorola Software Development Kit for the Java ME platform is a tool used for developing and testing of programs written in the Java programming language. For complete list of suported handsets, please see the list below.

The SDK includes applications that make it easy to launch MIDlets using the Motorola Java ME device emulator. Together, these tools allow you to develop and debug your Java ME programs in emulation before downloading them to a target device.

Emulators

All SDK emulators are divided into these five groups depending on the KVM on the actual device. All groups work with UEI-compliant IDEs (e.g. JBuilder, NetBeans). Eclipse IDE users, please use the Eclipse Plugin provided in this SDK release instead of the EclipseME 1.5.x plugin.

• A.1 – Supports UEI commands, but supports only one default phone skin.
• A.3 – Supports UEI commands.
• A.4 – Supports UEI commands.
• A.5 – Supports UEI commands.
• A.6 – Supports UEI commands.

System Requirements

To use and/or install the SDK components, your system must meet the following minimum system requirements:

• Java™ 2 SDK version 1.4.1_01 or later
• Windows 2000 or Windows XP
• Motorola recommends using the version 1.4.x SDK, as it includes support for the Java Sound APIs. If you are using a version of the Java SDK earlier than 1.4, you will need to download the separate Java Sound support file.
