Guide to getting started in J2ME for the
Motorola A780 phone
This guide will take you through setting up a build environment for J2ME in Windows
and in writing a few sample applications for the A780 phone. There are some notes at the
end if you are on another platform, but we strongly recommend using a Windows
environment so that you can make full use of the simulator and debug output.
1. Setting up Eclipse
We recommend using Eclipse for your Java editing. If you're not familiar with
Eclipse, you can get more information here: http://www.eclipse.org/
The latest version of Eclipse can be downloaded here:
http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/download.php?file=/eclipse/downloads/drops/
R-3.1.1-200509290840/eclipse-SDK-3.1.1-win32.zip
2. Setting up the Motorola J2ME SDK
Next, you'll need to set up the Motorola SDK. You will need to create an account
on the Motocoder website:
https://www.motocoder.com/motorola/template.jsp;jsessionid=1efdf:43cd0cee:99
0f451891647ff?filename=center_registration.jsp
Then download the latest SDK from:
http://www.motocoder.com/motorola/download.jsp?FILENAME=downloads/files
/SDK542.zip
Install this SDK to your windows system in the default directory (makes later
steps much easier!)
3. Setting up EclipseME J2ME Plugin
Next, you need to set up the J2ME plugin that will tie the Motorola SDK into the
Eclipse environment.
