NetBeans is a Java IDE that has support for developing Java Mobile applications. NetBeans IDE 6.0 Beta 2 is now available for download. The focus of NetBeans 6.0 is superior developer productivity with a smarter, faster editor, and the integration of all NetBeans products into one IDE.

The NetBeans Java Mobile improvements include:

  • New Integrated UI for CLDC/MIDP and CDC development. The
    Mobility pack now supports the project properties previously available
    only for CLDC/MIDP projects. These include project configuration support
    for device fragmentation, integrated obfuscation and optimization
    support, and multiple deployment options, all built on Apache Ant
    for easier coding and management.
  • New game builder. Now it’s easier to create mobile games
    with the Mobility Pack’s visual editing support for the MIDP 2.0 Game
    API. The API supports animated sprites and the ability to arrange
    tiled layers into scenes.
  • New Visual Mobile Designer. The Visual Mobile Designer
    (VMD) has been re-designed for improved functionality and usability.
  • Design analysis. Design Analysis identifies unused
    components for removal from complex visual designs.
  • New custom components. New components for the Visual
    Mobile Designer simplify the creation and design of mobile file browsers,
    Short Message Service (SMS) composers, login screens, and Personal
    Information Manager (PIM) browsers.
  • New components for Flow Control.
  • Generated code is now easier to modify.
  • Re-written JSR-172 stub compiler. The new generator
    has support for Base64 type and is able to parse documentation from
    methods.
  • Improved project configuration management. A new
    UI for the Project wizard makes it easier to add new project configurations
    for new mobile devices. It’s now easier to create multiple builds
    for multiple configurations.
