</p><h2> <a name="intro"></a><u>Introduction</u></h2>

<p>These release notes represent the release notes for the Mobility Modules for
  NetBeans 2004Q1, hereafter referred to as the &quot;Mobility modules.&quot; </p>

<p><b>NOTE: Mobility Modules for
  NetBeans 2004Q1 requires the Java&#8482; 2
    Software Development Kit, Standard Edition (J2SE&#8482; 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>
<p>The following section provides information on enhancements and new features
  available with the Mobility modules: </p>
<ul>
  <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>

     <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>

          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>

      The Currency Converter application used in the Mobility modules tutorial
      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>
