Installing this plugin

This plugin is in the EasyEclipse Mobile Java distribution.

If you install this plugin on another EasyEclipse distribution, the dependent plugin Eclipse Java Development Tools must be present in the EasyEclipse distribution, or must be installed separately.

To use this plugin, you need J2ME Wireless toolkit.

This plugin does not run on MacOS.

Getting started

Help is available for this plugin, in the Help > Help Contents menu in EasyEclipse.

To start with EclipseME, you must install a Wireless Toolkit, for example the Sun Java Wireless Toolkit. When installing it, you can point it to the JDK that is installed in EasyEclipse (under jre). You must then configure EasyEclipse to use this Wireless Toolkit: Select the Window > Preferences > J2ME > Device Management panel. Click Browse and select the installation of your Wireless Toolkit (C:\WTK2.5.2 for example). Click Refresh: the list is populated with the available device profiles. Click OK.

You are now ready to create a new project: File > New..., J2ME > J2ME Midlet Suite , and then add a midlet to it: File > New..., J2ME > J2ME Midlet. You can then run, or debug, your midlet by right-clicking on the Java file, and select Run As > J2ME Midlet , or Debug As > J2ME Midlet , respectively.

Note: If you install the EclipseME plugin not as part of the EasyEclipse Mobile Java, you may have to perform a manual installation step. See the EclipseME documentation page. This step is not needed if you install the EasyEclipse Mobile Java distribution.

Tests

(Notes that tests are only displayed if the page is served statically)

• Failing:

  - Test is on Windows only.
  - install the sun WTK (sun_java_wireless_toolkit-2_5_2-windows.exe). Point the JDK to the JRE in EasyEclipse installation (must be a Mobile Java install so taht it\'s a JDK)
  - Launch Eclipse, Preferences, J2ME > Device Management, push "browse", select WTK folder (e.g. C:\WTK2.5.2 ), OK, push "Refresh", 4 profiles should appear, OK.
  - File > New..., J2ME > J2ME Midlet Suite, give name "MyMidletSuite", OK
  - File > New..., J2ME > J2ME Midlet, give name "MyMidlet", OK
  - paste this in \'MyMidlet.java\':
  
  import javax.microedition.lcdui.Display;
  import javax.microedition.lcdui.Form;
  import javax.microedition.midlet.MIDlet;
  
  public class MyMidlet extends MIDlet {
  	protected void startApp() {
  		Display.getDisplay(this).setCurrent(new Form("Test App") {
  			{
  			    append("Working!\n");
  			}
  		});
  	}
  	protected void destroyApp(boolean unconditional) {
  	}
  	protected void pauseApp() {
  	}
  }
  
  - right-click on \'MyMidlet.java\', Run As -> Emulated J2ME Midlet, emulator should launch and show app saying "Working!". Quit emulator
  - right-click on line \'append("Working!\n");\' in left margin, select \'Toggle breakpoint\'
  - right-click on \'MyMidlet.java\', Debug As -> Emulated J2ME Midlet, "OK" on perspective switch, debugger should launch and break at breakpoint.
