Makeovers for Java ME applications
Filed under: javame opensource

One of my Top 10 Rich Client things from JavaOne this year was the Java ME Lightweight UI Toolkit (LWUIT). And the team just open sourced it yesterday.

If you're looking for a quick and easy way to add some fit and finish to a Java ME mobile application for use on the version of Java ME that is deployed today on billions of devices, you need to check it out.

It takes some of the familiar core ideas of Swing - some of the widgets, layouts, themes - and shrinkwraps them into something good looking, powerful, small and easy to get started with.

See it in action for yourself.
