Pump Up Your Technical Knowledge
Listen and watch as industry luminaries bring you the latest on Java technologies
The Java Platform, Micro Edition (Java ME) CLDC MSA platform (JSR 248) offers a wide variety of features and capabilities that require skills from many disciplines. Tools are needed to help professionals from different disciplines. The JSR 226 API offers outstanding support for rich, interactive and animated graphics. However, leveraging that APIs to its full potential requires not only programming skills, which Java technology developers have, but also artistic or animator skills, which these developers do not always have. Graphic art skills or animator talents are more commonly found in people who are not Java technology developers, and who are more used to graphics authoring packages than to API development tools. In the rich, animated and interactive 2D space, the Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) format bridges the gap between developers and graphic artists. Graphic artists can use tools which can export SVG graphics and animations. These resources can then be loaded, manipulated and rendered on the Java platform by developers using the JSR 226 API. This session discusses how the combination of Java technology-based code and SVG content enables richer, more dynamic and animated applications and shows the role of SVG markup, Java technology API, graphics authoring tools and the NetBeans Mobility Pack development tool. The session provides several examples of developing applications using SVG components including rendering, animation and interactivity. For each example, the session shows how the work from graphic artists can be imported into NetBeans software Mobility pack, how the graphics and animations can be inspected by the developer and bound to Java technology code. The session shows multiple code examples of the JSR 226 API and show how to run these examples in the Sun Java Wireless Toolkit.
