<p style="margin-left:8px;">
The write once, run anywhere axiom that has driven the popularity of the Java programming language does not apply very well to the world of Java Micro Edition (Java ME). Device capabilities such as screen size, color depth and memory vary considerably. Throw in the choice of profiles, configurations and J2ME APIs and you have what we call device fragmentation. This tutorial shows how to use the IDE's built-in capabilities to resolve Java ME MIDP device fragmentation problems.</p>

<h2><a href="http://services.netbeans.org/newsletter/story.php?id=1230">Extending the NetBeans API Wizards</a></h2>
<p style="margin-left:8px;">
Are you developing an application on top of the NetBeans Platform? Or, maybe you're creating plugins to extend NetBeans IDE with new functionality? In either case, you probably use one or more of the NetBeans API wizards, such as the New Action wizard or the New File Type wizard. But what do you do when these wizards do not create all the code you need? Maybe you should think about customizing these wizards to suit your own needs in your own environment. Geertjan gives you some pointers in a new series of blog entries.</p>
