Before you start
The Java Specification Request (JSR) 75 includes the Personal Information Management (PIM) package, along with the FileConnection (FC) package. The PIM package lets developers access a user's contacts, to-dos, and calendar events available on cell phones, PDAs, and any other Java-capable portable device.
After reading this tutorial, you will be able to use Eclipse to develop Java 2 Platform, Micro Edition (J2ME) applications that let users access and interact with the personal information available on their devices. This is an intermediate-level tutorial aimed at developers with previous experience in Java, Eclipse, and embedded development, but does not require any JSR-75 experience.
