| |
| <p>These release notes represent the release notes for the Mobility Modules for |
| NetBeans 2004Q1, hereafter referred to as the "Mobility modules." </p> |
| |
| <p><b>NOTE: Mobility Modules for |
| NetBeans 2004Q1 requires the Java™ 2 |
| Software Development Kit, Standard Edition (J2SE™ SDK) |
| v. 1.4.1_02 or later 1.4.x version.</b></p> |
| |
| <h3><a name="whatsnew"></a><u>What's New: Enhancements and New Features</u></h3> |

| <li>Support for the latest standards and tools, including: |
| <ul> |
| <li>MIDP 2.0</li> |
| <li>CLDC 1.1</li> |
| <li>JSR 185, Java Technology for the Wireless Industry (JWTI)</li> |
| |
| <li>The J2ME Wireless Toolkit version 2.1.</li> |
| </ul> |
| <li>New and improved wizards that simplify common and advanced tasks, such |
| as: |
| <ul> |
| <li>Installing sample applications</li> |
| <li>Importing J2ME Wireless Toolkit projects</li> |
| </ul> |
| </li> |
| |
| <li>Improved interface for enhanced usability.</li> |
| <li>Support for JAR signing to improve security.</li> |
| <li>Support for Push registry, which facilitates the signing of MIDlet suites. |
| This support includes an API Permissions tool to set permissions on sensitive |
| APIs in the MIDlet Suite.</li> |
| <li>Support for Over-The-Air (OTA) Download Testing. This support simulates |
| the complete lifecycle of an application, starting from the Over-The-Air |
| (OTA) Provisioning from a web site, installing and verifying, running, updating, |
| and removing your application without involving an external web server.</li> |
| <li>Support for Mobile Media (MMAPI) and Wireless Messaging (WMAPI) API libraries.</li> |
| </ul> |

| <ul> |
| <li>Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 systems </li> |
| <li>Microsoft Windows 2000 systems </li> |

| <ul> |
| <li>Microsoft Windows 98 Second Edition </li> |
| <li>Red Hat Linux 7.1 </li> |
| </ul> |
| |
| <p><strong>Note: The platforms supported by the Mobility modules might |
| differ from those supported by the emulator you plan to use. You should |
| verify that both the Mobility modules and the emulator you plan |
| to use are supported on your particular platform.</strong> </ul> |
| </p> |
| <h2><a name="bugs"></a><u>Bugs and Issues</u></h2> |
| <p><font color="#000000">NOTE: The Mobility modules are designed |
| to be used in single-user mode. Errors might occur if multiple users concurrently |
| access the same executable file. For this reason, this edition is not recommended |
| for use in a shared installation on any Windows platform.</font></p> |
| <ul> |
| <li> If you are creating a MIDlet that supports only MIDP 1.0, you should test |
| it using the device emulator from The J2ME Wireless Toolkit version 1.0.4_01. |
| The J2ME Wireless Toolkit 2.1 supports MIDP 2.0 features, and therefore |
| may not accurately |
| reflect your MIDlet's behavior on a MIDP 1.0 device.<br> |
| </li> |

| <li><a href="http://developer.java.sun.com/developer/bugParade/bugs/4666440.html"><font color="#0000cc">4666440</font></a><font color="#cc0033"> <font color="#000000">Description: |
| If you are using JDK 1.4 with the J2ME Wireless Toolkit 1.0.4_01, you |
| cannot debug code inside a MIDlet's constructor. </font></font></li> |
| <p><font color="#cc0033"><font color="#000000">Workaround: Use the J2ME Wireless |
| toolkit version 2.0 or later, use a different emulator, |
| or place the code from the |
| constructor into the MIDlet's method and place a breakpoint in the method.</font></font></p> |
| <li><font color="#000000"><a href="http://developer.java.sun.com/developer/bugParade/bugs/4940129.html">4940129</a> Description: |

| cannot handle values that overflow |
| past the size of the text field (for example, the Yen value will overflow |
| when the U.S. dollar amount exceeds 8 trillion dollars).</font><br> |
