Java Developer's Library
Welcome to the Java™ Developer's Library (JDL). The library supports devices up to Java Runtime for Nokia Asha software platform (1.0) for Nokia Asha platform devices and Java Runtime 2.0.0 for Series 40 devices. Java Platform, Micro Edition (Java ME) is the mobile-optimized version of the Java platform and the most widely available runtime on mobile devices. It offers an excellent opportunity to take application ideas to the mass market. To enable application development, Nokia provides software development kits (SDKs) for the Nokia Asha software platform and Series 40 devices that integrate with the most popular Java IDEs. Whether you want to take advantage of Nokia's advanced Java APIs or build applications for the widest range of mobile Java devices, Nokia's support for Java technology is ready to work for you. This library is intended for Java developers creating applications for the Nokia Asha software platform and Series 40 devices. You must have basic Java programming skills to use this library. For design guidelines please see the Nokia Asha Design Guidelines and Series 40 Full Touch Design Guidelines. |  |
