Welcome to the NetBeans 5.5 Mobility Pack, an add-on pack that provides the tools for creating Java Micro Edition (Java ME) applications that support the Connected, Limited Device Configuration (CLDC)/Mobile Information Device Profile (MIDP) technologies.

System Requirements

The NetBeans Mobility Pack 5.5 runs on the J2SE JDK 5.0 (Java 2 JDK, Standard Edition), which consists of the Java Runtime Environment plus developer tools for compiling, debugging, and running applications written in the Java language.

The NetBeans Mobility Pack 5.5 runs on operating systems that support the Java VM. Below is a list of platforms that the Mobility Pack has been tested on.

The Mobility Pack includes the J2ME Wireless Toolkit, version 2.2.
