<h1>NetBeans Java ME CDC Development Quick Start Guide</h1> | |
<h2>Introduction</h2> | |
<p>Connected Device Configuration (CDC) applications are designed to run on mobile and embedded devices with at least 2MB of memory. This configuration supports | |
a more feature-rich JVM than MIDP-based mobile phones, which typically have much less memory and use the Connected Limited Device Configuration (CLDC). This tutorial shows you how to use NetBeans IDE to create a Java Platform, Micro Edition (Java ME platform) CDC application. We show you how to create a Java ME CDC project that displays a simple form in a device emulator for the three available CDC profiles. This document is designed to get you creating applications as quickly as possible. </p> | |

<h2> Adding CDC Emulator Platforms<a name="platforms"></a></h2> | |
<h3>Supported CDC Profiles</h3> | |
<p>The IDE installer for the Windows operating system includes the <a href="http://java.sun.com/javame/downloads/sdk30.jsp">Java ME SDK 3.0</a> which allows you to develop CDC applications. | |
Note that different CDC emulator platforms support different development profiles. The main development profiles and the emulators that support them are:</p> | |
<ul> | |
<li>Personal Basis Profile (Sun Java ME SDK ) supports an application development framework for mobile and embedded devices | |
(<a href="http://java.sun.com/products/personalbasis/index.jsp">more info</a>)</li> | |
<li>Personal Profile (Nokia, Sony Ericsson) is the most popular profile for smartphone development. (<a href="http://java.sun.com/products/personalprofile/">more info</a>)</li> | |
</ul> | |
<h3>Available Platforms</h3> | |
<p>Instructions for adding the following supported emulator platforms are listed in the <a href="cdcemulator-setup.html"> NetBeans CDC Platform Emulator Setup Guide</a>.</p> | |
<ul> | |
<li>Java ME SDK 3.0</li> | |
<li>Sony Ericsson CDC Platform UIQ SDK 3</li> | |
<li>Sony Ericsson M600 and P990 devices</li> | |
<li>Nokia Series 80 Platform SDK for Symbian OS, Java and Personal Profile</li> | |
<li>NSIcom CrEme VM for Windows CE</li> | |
</ul> | |
<p>In the following sections we create a CDC project using each available profile and also use the IDE's GUI builder in the Personal | |
and AGUI profile applications to enhance the User Inerface. </p> | |
<h2>Creating a New CDC Application - Personal Basis Profile<a name="pbp"></a></h2> | |
<p>Here we create a CDC Application for the Personal Basis Profile (PBP) 1.1 Profile using the Java ME SDK 3.0. </p> | |
<ol> | |
<li>Choose <tt>File</tt> > <tt>New Project (Ctrl+Shift+N)</tt> from the main window.</li> | |
<li>From Categories, select <tt>Java ME</tt>. From Projects, select <tt>CDC Application</tt>. | |
Click Next.</li> | |
<li>In the Name and Location page, name the project <code>newcdc</code> and leave the <tt>Set as Main Project</tt> and <tt>Create Main Class</tt> checkboxes checked. Click Next.</li> | |
<li>In the Select Platform page, use the drop-down menus to choose <code>CDC Java(TM) Platform Micro Edition SDK 3.0</code> for the Java Platform and | |
<code>DefaultCdcPbpPhone1</code> as the Device. Leave the Profile settings as <tt>PBP-1.1</tt> like shown in the following picture. | |
<p class="align-center"><img src="../../../images_www/articles/72/javame/cdc-quickstart/select-platform.png" alt="New CDC Project Wizard Select Platform Page." border=1> </p> | |
</li> | |
<li>Click Finish. The IDE creates the new application and opens the main class form.</li> | |
<li>In the Source view, find <code>g.drawString("Hello, World!", 80, 50);</code> and add the word <tt>Java</tt> so that it reads <code>Hello, Java World!</code> | |
<p class="align-center"><img src="../../../images_www/articles/72/javame/cdc-quickstart/hellojava.png" alt="Shows the Source Code editor with the string Hello Java World!" border=1> </p> | |
</li> | |
<li>Click F11 to build the project then F6 to Run Main Project. The project launches in the emulator and and displays the | |
modified "Hello World!" message. | |
<p class="align-center"><img src="../../../images_www/articles/72/javame/cdc-quickstart/hellojava-emulator.png" alt="Shows the Default Color Phone Device Emulator with the message Hello Java World! displayed" border=1></p> | |
</li> | |
</ol> | |
<p>You can also debug the project and create tests for CDC projects <a href="../../docs/java/junit-intro.html">using the JUnit framework</a>.</p> | |
<a name="personal"></a> | |
<h2>Creating a New CDC Application - Personal Profile</h2> | |
<p>Here we create an <em>applet</em> for the Personal Profile using the Nokia | |
Series 80 Platform SDK for Symbian OS, for Java, Personal Profile. The Sony | |
Ericsson platform also supports the Personal Profile. </p> | |
<ol> | |
<li>Choose <tt>File</tt> > <tt>New Project (Ctrl+Shift+N)</tt>. Under Categories, select | |
<tt>Java ME</tt>. Under Projects, select the <tt>CDC Application</tt> template. Click Next.</li> | |
<li>Name the project <tt>S80cdcApplication</tt> and specify a location for | |
the project on your computer. Leave the <tt>Create Main Class</tt> check box selected. | |
Click Next. | |
<p class="align-center"><img src="../../../images_www/articles/72/javame/cdc-quickstart/nokias80app.png" alt="New Project Wizard Name and Location showing S80cdcApplication project." border=1> </p> </li> | |
<li> In the Select Platform Page, choose the <tt>Nokia S80 Platform</tt>. | |
<p class="align-center"><img src="../../../images_www/articles/72/javame/cdc-quickstart/nokias80sdk.png" alt="" border=1> </p></li> | |
<li>Click Finish. The IDE creates the new application and opens the main class | |
form in the GUI Builder, as shown in the following figure. Click on Source | |
to see the source code for the applet. Note that the generated code is based | |
on the profile. In this case, the main class is derived from <code>java.awt.Frame</code>. | |

</li> | |
</ol> | |
<h4>Creating the Application Interface Using the GUI Builder</h4> | |
<p>You can use the GUI Builder in the same way you use it for regular J2SE development. | |
In the GUI Builder, right-click the <tt>Main.java</tt> form | |
and choose <tt>Set Layout</tt> > <tt>Free Design</tt>. Then drag and drop components from | |
the Palette window into the Design Area of the GUI Builder. </p> | |
<p class="notes"><b>Note:</b> Make sure you | |
only use AWT components in your form. Since all the Nokia Series 80 | |
devices support the Personal Profile, only AWT widgets are available.</p> | |
<p>For more information on using the IDE's GUI Builder, see the <a href="../../trails/matisse.html">Java GUI Applications Learning Trail</a>.</p> | |
<p> When you are done, right-click the project in the Projects window and | |
choose Run Project. Your application should be displayed in the Applications | |
menu in the device emulator. You can now run the device in the emulator.</p> | |
