Best Tools

Best tools for mobile application development

A comparative review of four J2ME IDEs

A new technology's successful adoption often depends on its development tools. Good tools help new developers more easily get started and make experienced developers more productive. For instance, the success of Microsoft's programming environment is closely associated with the success of its Visual Studio tools.

The J2ME (Java 2 Platform, Micro Edition) technology is still relatively new. Strong development tools, especially IDEs, will greatly help J2ME's adoption among wireless application developers. In this article, I review four J2ME IDE products:

  • Borland JBuilder 7 Enterprise with MobileSet 3
  • Sun Microsystems' Sun ONE (Open Network Environment) Studio 4 Mobile Edition
  • Metrowerks CodeWarrior Wireless Studio 7
  • S5 Systems' jVise (based on IBM Eclipse technology)
