LWUIT J2ME Project source code available

The Lightweight User Interface Toolkit or LWUIT, a project to enable J2ME developers to create consistent and easily usable mobile Java applications, has made its source code available under the GPL2 license. Previously a binary only download was provided by the project.

The LWUIT project has been pouring it on with releases including adding new features to the toolkit. Some of the key features include theming, support for touch screen mobile phones, 3D, SVG integration. Aside from being able to provide functions to the mobile Java developer to create consistent, it will also help in providing a consistent look and feel for J2ME software across mobile phones from different manufacturers. Such a consistency helps in increasing the usability of the software.
