Enhanced on-device debugging capabilities
Improved performance and quality
Fully-compliant with the latest Test Compatibility Kits (TCKs)
Tested using the Java Device Test Suite (JDTS), version 2.2
Individually downloadable JSR bundles
Integration with Java Platform, Micro Edition Software Development Kit (SDK) 3.0

NOTE: This release is not fully MSA-compliant, as the 3D Graphics optional package (JSR 184) is not included in this distribution.

Platform Requirements

Following are the supported target platforms for running an implementation of Sun Java Wireless Client Software:

Texas Instruments P2SAMPLE64-V6 OMAP 730 with Linux/ARM
Windows/x86

For more information on platform compatibilities, build tools, and other build considerations, see the Sun Java Wireless Client Software Build Guide.

Implementation Notes

Win32 Binary Pack

The Win32 binary pack (found in bundle 3 of the Java License Engineering Sun Java Wireless Client software districubution), should be used as a base for running binaries that customers buid themselves. The Win32 binary pack is a complete implementation of the Mobile Information Device Profile (MIDP), without any additional Java Specification Request (JSR) optional packages.

Minimal Support for Wireless Toolkit 2.5.2

The Sun Java Wireless Client contains an implementation of the Java ME SDK 3.0, which provides an emulation environment on the Windows platform. Although it is possible to use the Wireless Toolkit (WTK) 2.5.2 as your emulation environment, it is not recommended. WTK 2.5.2 has not been fully tested with the Sun Java Wireless Client software and many features of the Wireless Toolkit are not supported.

Bluetooth-Push_1-1-1_002_TCK: Emulator Crashes

Do not start the VM when some BT push MIDlet is installed. If you try to start the VM with a test MIDlet installed, the emulator will crash. During TCK execution, after the accidental exit from the emulator with the installed test MIDlet, it's impossible to start the emulator again.

This happens because a notifier must be created on the Java platform level, to start a BT push emulator notifier to listen for the push connection. However, the moment the push server starts during the VM startup process, there is no Java platform thread and the system crashes.

If the emulator crashes with a test MIDlet installed, you can restart the emulator by following these steps:

Remove the BTPush file from the appdb directory.
Start the emulator and remove the installed push MIDlet.

This problem exists for the emulator implementation only.
