More Project Capuchin resources: Service MXPs, Service API Generator tool and tutorial

Sony Ericsson's Project Capuchin enables faster UI development and easier collaboration between graphical designers and code developers. The new Project Capuchin Service API Generator tool enables you to create your own MXP files, supported by a tutorial pack, and nine new, ready made Service MXP files are also available for download.

The Project Capuchin bridging technology is the base for exciting applications where the UI presentation is designed in Adobe® Flash Lite™ and the data logic is provided by Java™ ME.

More Service MXP files
Macromedia Extension Packages (MXP) enable the import of new functions, plugins and resources into Adobe® Flash CS3 or CS4. Using MXPs, Flash developers can build applications in Flash and extract functionality from Java ME using ActionScript, for example date, time, alarms or local connectivity such as Bluetooth™.

There are now 9 new MXP files available for download:

Accelerometer Contacts File Internationalization Location

Messaging Multimedia Persistency Radio

New Service API Generator tool with tutorial
To create your own MXP files, under the "Java ME" tab on www.sonyericsson.com/developer/projectcapuchin the new Project Capuchin Service API Generator tool is available for download, supported by a tutorial pack.

This tool targets the API designer, who would like to do the following tasks:

• Come up with the concept for a new Platform Service
• Use the Service API Generator plug-in to create a JXML file for the Platform Service
• Create a zip file with the Java stubs necessary for Java developers
• Generate the MXP component using the pre-verified and compiled Java classes implemented by Java developer

The accompanying tutorial describes the API designer's position within the overall Platform Service development process and shows how to define new Platform Services APIs from scratch.
