J2ME Polish 1.0

Posted by michael on from the polished-to-a-shine dept.

Reader enough2000 writes "After nine months of intense programming, J2ME Polish 1.0 has now been released on j2mepolish.org. J2ME Polish is a GPL'd suite of tools, of which every one meets a definite need of J2ME developers. It includes an Ant based build tool, an integrated device database, an UI which can be designed using simple CSS-textfiles, a game-engine and a logging framework. I'm the developer of this suite and would like to know your opinions and suggestions for future versions."

    Hi MisterFancypants, the GPL ensures the freedom of the project, and also this project is licensed commercially as well (like Trolltech's QT for example).

    To the first J2ME "mode" you mention: "you decide what you want, but have not idea what it will look like":

    This "mode" is actually what the J2ME Polish GUI is changing. You can use the normal Form, List, StringItem etc but you can design this stuff with CSS. Which I think is kinda cool. Also it has a "fallback" mode for devices which are not powerful enough to support the GUI - in that case it just uses the native GUI of the device. Voila!

    You can find more info about this stuff at the introduction.
