Java Technology for the Wireless Industry (JTWI) Road Map (JSR 185) defines the industry standard platform for the next generation of Java technology-enabled mobile phones that includes CLDC, MIDP, and WMA . Read the open letter from the JSR 185 Expert Group and first official version of the JTWI road map, and learn how the platform will evolve as new standards emerge. J2EE Client Provisioning (JSR 124) is a technology with special significance for the J2ME platform. Any application, including J2ME MIDlets, can be provisioned through a wireless portal supporting J2EE Client Provisioning. Any user with a consumer device that supports J2ME MIDP and OTA technology can browse the portal and download applications and content. CLDC and MIDP Reference Implementation is the definitive soft ware reflecting the CLDC and MIDP specifications. If you're just developing J2ME applications, you probably won't find this very useful. If you want to understand CLDC or MIDP at a low level, or if you're porting CLDC or MIDP to a new device, go check this out. Mobile Media API (JSR 135) extends the functionality of the J2ME platform by providing audio, video and other time-based multimedia support to resource-constrained devices. As a simple and lightweight optional package, it allows Java developers to gain access to native multimedia services available on a given device. Wireless Messaging API (JSR 120) extends the J2ME platform by providing application developers device-independent access to Short Message Service (SMS) and Cell Broadcast Service (CBS). J2ME Wireless Toolkit (J2MEWTK) is a free J2ME MIDP/CLDC device emulation toolkit for building MIDP applications. The J2MEWTK makes it easy to compile and package MIDP applications for testing on a representative Java technology device emulator on Windows, Linux or Solaris platforms. Previous installation of the Java 2, Standard Edition (J2SE) SDK is required. The J2MEWTK can be used standalone or with with Java Integrated Development Environments (IDEs) such as the Sun ONE Studio, Mobile Edition. Sun ONE Studio, Mobile Edition is a Java Integrated Development Environment (IDE) for developing applications that can be deployed to Java technology-enabled mobile devices based on the Mobile Information Device Profile (MIDP)/Connected Limited Device Configuration (CLDC) technologies. Integrated with the J2ME Wireless Toolkit, Mobile Edition can also be readily integrated with device emulator / SDKs from Nokia, Sony Ericsson, Siemens, Hutchison 3, Motorola iDEN and others. Nokia Developer's Suite for J2ME(free registration required) is a set of tools that help you build J2ME applications for Nokia devices.

The suite also includes an emulator that can be used either with JBuilder or the Sun J2ME Wireless Toolkit. Siemens Wireless Java SDK (free registration required, follow links for "Developer Portal" and "Wireless Java") is a set of tools based around Siemens' SL45i and 6688i devices. The SDK has two versions, an SL45i version for European markets and a 6688i version which includes emulator support for Chinese characters. The SDK includes an emulator, the CLDC and MIDP classes, Siemens-specific classes, and documentation.
