J2ME Wireless Toolkit
|
The J2ME Wireless Toolkit is a set of tools for creating MIDP applications. It consists of three main components:
The J2ME Wireless Toolkit implements impressive capabilities which are exposed through standard APIs. The APIs are defined through the Java Community Process (JCP):

This section describes the system requirements for running the J2ME Wireless Toolkit.
To download the SDK or JRE you want, go to http://java.sun.com/j2se/downloads.html
NOTE: The Linux version of the toolkit is unsupported and has
undergone only limited testing on the Red Hat 9.0 distribution.
We plan to release new Linux versions of the toolkit, however, we cannot
commit to doing so with the same frequency as, nor simultaneously with,
new Microsoft Windows versions. In addition, we cannot commit to making
fully supported Linux versions of the toolkit.
Minimum hardware requirements are:
Run the installer,
j2me_wireless_toolkit-2_2-bin-win.exe
.
Follow the instructions provided by the installer.
To install the toolkit, run the self-extracting installer,
j2me_wireless_toolkit-2_2-bin-linuxi386.bin
.
To complete installation of the Wireless Toolkit, you must have the J2SE SDK version 1.4.2 installed. If you only want to use the Wireless Toolkit with the J2SE Runtime Environment (JRE), version 1.4.2, you must have the ZIP utility installed.
If you want to install the toolkit into a directory that requires root access, become the root user before running the installer.
The Linux version of the J2ME Wireless Toolkit differs from the Microsoft Windows version in the following respects:
.jad
) in the window manager or web browser.
Microsoft Windows File or Directory | Linux Equivalent |
---|---|
bin\ktoolbar.exe |
bin/ktoolbar |
bin\emulator.exe |
bin/emulator |
bin\prefs.exe |
bin/prefs |
bin\DefaultDevice.exe |
bin/defaultdevice |
wtklib\Windows\ |
wtklib/Linux/ |
The Linux version of the wireless toolkit comes with the
same documentation as the Microsoft Windows version. Almost all of the
documentation for the Microsoft Windows version can be applied to the
Linux version, except that all backslashes ('\
') in paths
should be treated as forward slashes ('/
').
Although all screen shots in the documentation were taken on Microsoft Windows, the items portrayed in the screen shots look nearly identical, if not exactly the same, on the Linux version of the toolkit.
The installer creates a new program group, J2ME Wireless Toolkit 2.2. This group contains the following aliases:
You can run the J2ME Wireless Toolkit from the command line using
commands from the directory j2mewtk.dir/bin
,
where j2mewtk.dir is the toolkit's installation directory.
Command | Action |
---|---|
ktoolbar |
Starts the KToolbar. |
defaultdevice |
Enables you to specify the default emulation device. |
prefs |
Enables you to set the toolkit preferences. |
utils |
Enables you to access the toolkit's utilities. |
emulator |
Enables you to run the emulator from the command line. |
This release of the J2ME Wireless Toolkit can be integrated with Java integrated development environments (IDEs), such as Sun Java Studio Mobility. For information on how to use the J2ME Wireless Toolkit within an IDE, refer to the documentation for the specific IDE.
This is not an exhaustive list of known bugs. It includes those bugs that developers are most likely to encounter in using the toolkit.
