Wednesday May 25, 2005 Cool beans! NetBeans 4.1 new support for mobile developers
This might be old news by now, but I ran across this interview with James Gosling and Tim Cramer talking about the new release of NetBeans 4.1 and they mention how the new cool IDE applies to Mobile (J2ME technology) Programming also. See: James Gosling and Tim Cramer talk about NetBeans 4.1 Quote from interview about NetBeans 4.1 support of J2ME technology
...for mobile projects using J2ME,
NetBeans 4.1 lets devs...
# Visually lay out your MIDlet's
workflow, and design and code
the GUI using drag and drop
elements (available in
NetBeans Mobility Pack), and
provides
# Wizard support for creating
J2ME-J2EE applications. Enables
you to quickly create J2ME
client/server applications
(available in NetBeans Mobility
Pack).
I've seen both the NetBeans MIDlet workflow designer and J2ME to J2EE wizard demos. Both are very nice new features in NetBeans 4.1.
The last question in the interview asks James about a killer JavaOne mobile demo. He says, "After I’m done flinging T-shirts I’m hoping to have some cool demos, and there are some I would kill to have. As whether they’re mobile depends on your definition of mobile. I better leave it at that." A J2ME technology-enabled light saber? A J2ME technology-enabled deathray gun? Something James would kill to have... Hmmm... I would suggest keeping low to the ground after the T-shirt give-away at this year's JavaOne. :-) |
