EclipseME, the Java mobile development tool for the Eclipse IDE, has released an update. The v1.7.9 update is primarily a bug fix.

The version provides a single bug fix for a build issue causing users trouble in recent EclipseME versions. This version still supports Eclipse 3.2 but future versions will likely require newer versions of Eclipse in order to function.

As announced earlier on their web site, the Eclipse Mobile Tools for Java project is in the process of restarting because Motorola has taken leadership of the Mobile Tools for Java — an Eclipse IDE project focused on creating J2ME development tools running on the Eclipse environment. Motorola’s plan is to use EclipseME and integrate it into the Mobile Tools for Java project.
