LWUIT J2ME Framework



Just spotted a new Framewwork for J2ME development called LWUIT which seems to have recently reached a certain level of maturity. Basically it focuses on the UI providing a swing-like model and enables to create a single jar running on a lot of devices (which is handy if you need to go through the Java verified process) and is pretty groundbreaking compared to good old J2MEPolish which generates a couple jar/jad per targeted device… It features :

  • Swing Like MVC (Model View Controller)
  • Layouts
  • PLAF (Pluggable Look And Feel) & Themes
  • Fonts
  • Touch Screen
  • Animations & Transitions
  • Rich widgets
  • 3D Integration (Optional)
  • Painters
  • Modal Dialogs
  • External Tools
  • I18N/L10N
  • SVG Integration (Optional)

It’s released under GPLv2 with Classpath Exception which basically makes it free to use!
