A few simple steps to profile J2ME applications on your Mac

The first step of optimizing any application is finding out that small percentage that is taking up your applications execution time. That is why profiling tools are invaluable to find where to squeeze out more juice. Specially when it comes to J2ME applications where resources are very limited.


Here is a simple guide on setting up your J2ME applications for profiling. We are going to make use of the Built in profiler of Java ME SDK 3.0 for Mac, a very useful tool to be able to pin point the areas that need optimization....





Lets start by setting up our existing J2ME project on the Java ME SDK for Mac IDE.

Open up your JavaME SDK IDE and create a new project.

Now that our project is setup.... we set the profiler on.....

If we did everything right... we the profile data from our application will be opened on our IDE

Now we can analyze the data that the profiler gathered and we can now plan our optimization....
