Java ME Platform Docs & Tools

october 23, 2008

The 2.5.0.3 release supports four new features:

• MIDlet profiling
  Profiling support for MIDlets on Java Platform 8 (JP-8) mobile phones and later is introduced. It is now possible to perform CPU profiling of a MIDlet in the Device Explorer. This allows you to detect and analyze CPU bottlenecks in your code.

• Project Capuchin API
  The Project Capuchin API allows you to create highly visually appealing Java ME applications where some parts, or all, of the UI is defined in Flash Lite while platform services are accessed through Java. Project Capuchin Docs & Tools here>>

• Enhanced configuration of connected devices
  The configuration of a connected device has been greatly improved by the introduction of a Windows Service (Sony Ericsson SDK Service). This service can be configured in the sdkme.properties which then requires a restart of the service and all SDK tools. The service will automatically connect the Connection Proxy to a device once a phone is connected and completely configured.

• Emulation for Mobile Sensor API (JSR 256)
  The WTK emulator now contains support for the Mobile Sensors API (JSR 256). The GUI is available under External events in the menu of the emulator.

This SDK version incorporates all features included in previous releases such as on-device debugging for Sony Ericsson Symbian Java Platform 3 (P1, W960). Please refer to Wiki for articles relating to setting up USB and Bluetooth connections. Note that older phones (JP-1), which are supported through the Sun Wireless Toolkit 1.x, have now been removed - if you require support please use the older 2.5.0 release listed in the Reference Archive tab on this web page.
