20 Nov 2003 This is the first installment of a comprehensive four-part introduction to Java™ 2 Micro Edition (J2ME) and the Mobile Information Device Profile (MIDP). The series will consist of two tutorials and two companion articles. In this first tutorial, you will learn about the essential components of J2ME, with a primary focus on MIDP. The focus is on MIDP's high-level user interface, with a step-by-step introduction to the components that facilitate the main interaction between the user and the device display.
Prerequisites
This tutorial is intended for experienced Java programmers who would like to learn how to develop mobile applications using J2ME. The code examples are not particularly complex, but it is assumed that you understand how classes are created, inherited, and instantiated within the Java platform. You will also benefit from a working knowledge of using and creating Java Archive Files (JARs).
System requirements
To complete this tutorial you will need to install JDK version 1.4 or greater, along with the J2ME Wireless Toolkit (WTK).
