There are two distinct J2ME environments:
- Connected Device Configuration (CDC) and Profile
- An example is Foundation + Applications in the CDC environment, which
can effectively be developed like a normal Java 2 Platform Standard Edition
(J2SE) application. The only change required is modifying the bootclasspath
option to point to the relevent CDC jar or zip class file.
Note: The 'bootclasspath'
option may not be available on all JVM's
- Connected Limited Device Configuration (CLDC) and Mobile Information Device
Profile (MIDP)
- Applications developed for MIDP can also be compiled using a normal J2SE
JVM (again using the bootclasspath to point to the required Midp class library),
but they normally have to be run within a Midp Emulator. Therefore, we recommend
developing the application using one of the MIDP Toolkits available on the
Web. MQe provides a MIDP jar that should be used within this environment.
The MQeMidpBase.jar is in the <MQeInstallDir>\Java\Jars
directory.
