NetBeans Mobility 6.1 on Mac (Leopard)
|
NetBeans
|
NetBeans Mobility 6.1 provides better support for Mac. The Mac is still unsupported platform - means we are not testing it. However the work with the NetBeans Mobility and MPowerPlayer should be easier. When you have the NetBeans Mobility 6.1 (a build after 2/21) then you can add the mpowerplayer emulator as any other Java ME emulator. You don't have to bother with setting up the Custom Emulator Platform. I tried it yesterday with a simple project.
UPDATE: there is NO INSTALLER for Mac that includes the Mobility. You can install whatever version of NB without Mobility to your Mac then you can download the Mobility functionality from Update Center with Tools > Plugins manager (look for Mobility category in Available tab).
Adding the MPowerPlayer platform
Step 1
Step 2
Step 3
MPowerPlayer emulator platform in Java Platform manager
Create new Mobility project with MPowerPlayer platform

Thanks for the reference. It looks cool!
I don't know if these exist, but does it work with other emulators too?

The main problem being that MPowerPlayer supports almost no optional API. For example I'm developing an application using JSR-172, 89 and 179 and they're not supported.

This works great! At least using the zip-file non-architecture specific version, can´t get the Android to work with 6.1 though.
Definitly gonna keep an eye on this blog, thx!

Thanks Lukas!
Nice to be able to use Netbeans (Mobility) also on my new Macbook air.
I had some problem to found mpowerplayer sdk after I had install it.
But finally I download it from: http://mpowerplayer.com/?p=14 and then I was able to to add this SDK.
Perhaps it is already on my computer?
But now it works anyway.

I have followed your instructions but am still having some specific problems that other users may also be facing these are
I am getting a NoClassDefFoundError even though I have CLDC 1.1 selected in addition I also get an error when trying to use Boolean.TRUE/Boolean.FALSE. I think this is related to the CLDC 1.1 issue.
By the way using floats (testing for cldc1.1) works, if I explicitly select CLDC 1.0 then using floats as expected don't work.

@Jonah: It is importatant what NoClassDefFoundError is it. The mpowerplayer doesn't support all the MSA JSRs.
Could you provide more details?

Hi Lukas,
the exact error I get is the following
StartPage.java:359: cannot access java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError
file java/lang/NoClassDefFoundError.class not found
this happens when refering to .class java method

Netbeans doesn't recognize my mpp-sdk folder when I'm searching for the Java ME MIDP Platform Emulator..?
Posted by hap on April 16, 2008 at 11:06 AM CEST #
@hap: Same problem here. It seems the "Java ME MIDP Platform Emulator" options does not work. I try "Custom Java ME MIDP Platform Emulator" and it's installed.

@Hap, weijun: What is your operating system? What is your NetBeans version?
Please be aware that the MPP support works ONLY on Mac and with NetBeans Mobility 6.1 (builds afte 2/21)

Curious, folks - with NB 6.1+Mobility running on the MBA - does it make your MBA shut down one of its cores?

hi there, I am new using NetBeans on my Mac, and I would love to know how to install the mobility pack here ( on net beans 6.1 ), could you help me a bit ?
is it just going to Tools->Plug-Ins and there select the "Mobility" plug-in ?
Your help would really be useful since If I can't install it , I would have to go back to VMware, and working in a more native way on my mac would be really great.
Thanks a lot .

@Nicolas Goles: Yes, you are right. The NetBeans Mobility isn't part of the installer for Mac therefore you have to get it from Update Center with Tools > Plugins. Get the whole Mobility category to have all the functionality of Mobility. Please, remember that you have to download the mpowerplayer or any other emulator separately.

To support m3g, it seems that if you follow mpowerplayer's instructions of copying m3g.jar, m3g-mac.jar and m3g-mac-native.jar into the mpp-sdk folder, netbeans will no longer detect mpowerplayer and therefore not install it as a j2me platform. not been able to get m3g working yet!?

@Shai: Could you please fill new bug with more details and steps to reproduce? http://www.netbeans.org/issues/enter_bug.cgi?component=mobility
Thank you.

I have netbeans 6.5 installed on my system and the Sun Java (TM) Wireless Toolkit 2.5.2 for CLDC is located in the usual folder i.e C:\Program Files\NetBeans 6.5\mobility8\WTK2.5.2
It was working fine for some thing but today it has stopped working suddenly althoung nothing has been modified in th installation folders
and it is not accessible in netbeans IDE anymore. I have tried to add it from "Java Platform Manager" but netbeans does not seem to work
The procedure I do is
One in Netbeans IDE
1. Open Java Platform Manager
2. Add Java Platform
3. Select "Java ME MIDP Platform Emulator"
4. Click "Next"
nothing happens...
I tried to uninstalled and reinstalled netbeans 3 times nothing seems to work.
Can any one help me out.
