subject: Features That Makes J2me Best For Mobile Applications [print this page] J2ME has bought revolution in the world of application development. To define, one can say that Java 2 Micro Edition (J2ME) is a platform which is specifically designed for developing mobile application and it allows developers to build mobile and web application in flexible and portable environment. Almost all the incredible application of small devices, such as PDA, SmartPhones etc, are developed using the same technology. The task of developing complicated application has become easier with the help of j2me.
The job of application development gets completed with the assistance of some built in applications provided in it. Several useful applets and API are available to handle the work of development. Except this Java development kit also plays a major role in development part of application. In this kit, several libraries and features are present to carry out developing.
Portability or platform independence is one of the major reasons why it is widely accepted. Even all web application and operating systems, no matter it is windows or Linux, also support it. In addition to this, it is network based also, so better network can be easily availed. Developers find it user friendly and easy to use, hence they prefer to use it more in comparison to other technologies. As it is open source software so all the plug-ins and latest updates becomes freely available for all. No need to pay any such amount in order to get its license. It also enables you to work in offline mode. Mobile application developed using j2me offers easy and fast downloading and uploading. Installation process also becomes easy via this technology.
The feature that everyone expects from their software is security and nothing can be better than J2me as far as the matter of security and protection is concerned. There is no concern with regards to any language, so developers need not to learn any specific language in order to work with it. In short, it is multilingual technology. Almost all the major mobile companies today make use of J2me. Smart features of any gadgets i.e. mobile, SmartPhone, PDA, you have in your hand, is the result of j2me itself. Lets have a look at the steps included in application development via J2me.
The development of project includes both utility class and main class. So at first, utility class is created along with main class. Go to the file option and choose desired category. Now save it at any location. Next step will be to create source code for your application. Additional code can also be added from library file. Compilation should be done afterwards to find bugs, if there is any. After carrying out debugging, finally run your application.
