| <h1>NetBeans Mobility Pack 5.0 Release Notes</h1> |
| <p>Last Updated: 2 February 2006</p> |
| <h2><a name="SupportedPlatforms">Supported Platforms</a></h2> |
| <blockquote> |
| <p><b>Note:</b> NetBeans™ Mobility Pack 5.0 |
| requires Java SE 5.0_06 or later v. 5.0_x platform or optionally J2SE SDK |
| v. 1.4.2_09 or later v. 1.4.x platform.</p> |
| <p>Java ME MIDP Development is supported on the following platforms:<br> |
| • Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional SP3<br> |
| • Microsoft Windows XP Professional SP2<br> |
| • Fedora Core 3</p> |
| <p>The Mobility Pack includes the J2ME Wireless Toolkit, |
| version 2.2. </p> |
| <p><b>Note:</b> The platforms supported by the NetBeans Mobility Pack might |
| differ from those supported by the emulator you plan to use. You should verify |
| that both the Mobility Pack and the emulator you plan to use are supported |
| on your particular platform.</p> |

| <br> |
| The Component is "3rd-Party". The Subcomponent is "mobility pack".<br> |
| </p> |
| <p>The major unresolved issues for this release are as follows: |
| </p> |
| |
| <ul> |
| <li>The NetBeans Mobility Pack will not run if the name of, or path to, the |
| installation directory or user directory <br> |
| contains non-ASCII characters.<br> |
| </li> |
| <li> The J2ME Wireless Toolkit will not run if the name of, or path to, the |
| Toolkit installation directory or user directory contains non-ASCII characters.<br> |
| </li> |
| <li>The J2ME Wireless Toolkit 2.2 emulator does not support multibyte characters |
| in a Mobility project name or in a Java class that will become the name of |
| a MIDlet or MIDlet suite. You can develop such a project using the IDE, but |
| you will not be able build or run the application if you are using the J2ME |
| Wireless Toolkit 2.2 as your target platform.<br> |
| <blockquote> <strong>Workaround:</strong> Use ASCII characters only in the |
| name of the project and program class names, or configure the project to |
| use an emulator that supports multibyte characters.</blockquote> |
| </li> |
| <li>The Update Center does not work after you uninstall the Mobility Pack.<br> |
| <blockquote> <strong>Workaround:</strong> After you uninstall the Mobility |
| Pack, remove the Java ME Platform SDK Catalog from the list of AutoUpdate |
| Types. To do this, choose Tools >Options. Click Advanced Options. Expand |
| IDE Configuration > System > AutoUpdate Types. Right click Java ME |
| Platform SDK Catalog and delete it. Restart the NetBeans IDE.</blockquote> |
| </li> |
| <li>You cannot add external J2ME Wireless Toolkit emulators in the Linux distribution |
| under certain permissions.<br> |
| <br> |
| When adding the platform using the Java Platform Manager (JPM), the tool's |
| browser recognizes any J2ME Wireless Toolkit directories and marks them with |
| the appropriate icon in the file dialog. If you attempt to add an external |
| Wireless Toolkit on Linux installed under root or a different user account, |
| however, the process fails even though the Wireless Toolkit installation appears |
| valid. This is a known issue and is caused by wrong permissions set on the |
| Wireless Toolkit executables. As a result the JPM cannot execute the emulator |
| executable and get the detailed information it needs about the platform. |
| <blockquote> |
| <p><strong>Workaround:</strong> Install the external J2ME Wireless Toolkit |
| under the same user account as the one you use to run the NetBeans IDE. |
| Optionally, if you have root access you can change the permissions on |
| the Wireless Toolkit directories and executables but that is not advisable |
| as it can cause major problems for other users using that Wireless Toolkit |
| installation.</p> |
| </blockquote> |
| </li> |
| <li>Visual Mobile Designer projects saved in Mobility Pack 5.0 are not backwards-compatible |
| with Mobility Pack 4.1 projects. Once you save a project in version 5.0, it |
| cannot be reopened in version 4.1.<br> |
| </li> |
| <li>Run through OTA can be very slow.<br> |
| </li> |
| <li>If you add multiple custom components to the MIDP Visual Designer Component |
| Palette, the last custom component added occasionally becomes unusable. </li> |
| <blockquote> |
| <p><strong>Workaround:</strong> Remove the custom component and add it again |
| using the Component Palette Manager.<br> |
| </p> |
| </blockquote> |
| <li>Emulator opens, but no MIDlet is shown when debugging a multi-threaded application, |
| or when an application is being debugged on dual machines. This is due to |
| a bug in the J2ME Wireless Toolkit 2.2. |
| <blockquote> |
| <p><strong>Workaround:</strong> Turn off hyperthreading while debugging.</p> |
| </blockquote> |
