Hello World in J2ME : From Development to Deployment

Scope of Article

This article is intended for J2ME beginners and steps through every process of developing a MIDP compatible MIDlet. It is assumed that the reader has sufficient knowledge of general Java development using J2SE.

Java’s Original Promise

In the beginning Java was intended as a programming language that would power devices ranging from toasters to servers. This did not happen at first, but nearly a decade later Java found its way onto the mobile phones of millions of people and proved for the most part its ability to allow developers to “Write Once Run Anywhere”.

With this solid footing Java continues attempting to make inroads into other problem domains.
