Planning to develop J2ME applications?? Well here is a quick and easy guide that will get you started in no time.

What you will need....





a Mac computer... Oh you want to develop on PC? Ask me how :P

an IDE.... you have lots of choices.... personally i prefer Eclipse IDE in the case of J2ME you're better off getting Pulsar Eclipse Mobile Platform you could also use Netbeans IDE or you can use Java ME SDK 3.0 for Mac you have lots of choices, i use all of them well not at the same time i code in Netbeans and Eclipse and i just use the Java Me SDK for profiling mobile apps.

Now that you have your IDE you will also need the Java Dev Kit and Java ME SDK 3.0 for Mac (Sa wakas meron na rin sa mac hehehe).

Requirements list:
1.) Mac computer (you can use PC its almost the same setup).
2.) IDE - Pulsar Eclipse Mobile Platform or Netbeans IDE or just use the Java ME SDK 3.0 for Mac.

3.) Software Dev Kits - Java Dev Kit and Java ME SDK 3.0 for Mac 

Are you ready? Here we go....

First we fire up our IDE.... I will be using Java ME SDK 3.0 for Mac for the purpose of this tutorial....

Then we create a new project.....

Choose MIDP applicaton....

Choose you project name and location...

Choose an emulator.... in this case i use default.... click Finish....

Our new project shows up on our project explorer, and our class opens up on our editor window....

We change some code on our sample Midlet class....

Now we run our project.... The emulator displays our text.....

Now, there you have it.... a few simple steps to get you started on your J2ME application.
