Description Michel Rondeau

It would be great to be able to flag a project as target for Java Micro-Edition.
Better, is to be able to compile a project both to Standard-Edition and
Micro-Edition (flaging user-interface classes for either Micro-Edition or
Standard-Edition). 

There is actually no easy way to produce applications target to phone and PDA.
For example to migrate an hybrid Java Application/Applet to Palm I had to gather
tools and documents from many sites at Sun, IBM and Palm. The tools are
command-line driven and don't provide any easy way to debug.

Micro-Edition support would mean :
- validate syntax and class usage to the allowed subset
- provide a test bed / debug environment (simulating a PDA or a cell phone)
- generate META-INF/MANIFEST-MIDlet.MF
- generate jar and jad files

Optionnally support to platform specific compilation tools would help smooth
development even more. For example jar2prc for Palm devices to generate Palm
ready applications.

We should be able to generate to different profiles to target multiple familly
of devices.

J2ME is long dead now.
