TOP THREE LINKS YOU MUST CLICK ON Java News Desk Sun Releases Lightweight UI Toolkit for Java Apps
Helps Developers Create Java ME Mobile Platforms

The toolkit will allow developers to create user interfaces for Java-based mobile phone applications. The package is being made available for download by the company under the title 'Light-weight UI Toolkit' or LWUIT. The company hopes that the open-source LWUIT will make it easier for Java developers to create applications for the Java ME mobile phone platform, further developing the growth of Java on mobile phones and smartphone handsets. "By creating LWUIT, Sun is reaffirming its commitment to the mobile development community and by open sourcing the LWUIT code we are enabling mobile developers to quickly and easily create rich, portable interfaces for their applications," declared Craig Gering, Sun's senior director of embedded Java software. "This software will also help address the mobile industry's fragmentation issue by enabling developers to create a single interface that will work anywhere Java is found." The toolkit had previously been available to developers as a pre-release toolkit. The latest release, however, makes the kit available to developers under a variation of the GPLv2 license. The reasoning, said Sun senior technologist Terrence Barr, was to make it easier to commercialize products that use the LWUIT. "To further accelerate the adoption of the LWUIT framework it is important to provide access to the source code under a liberal and well-known open source license," Barr said in a blog posting. "This license choice provides the benefits of open source innovation and collaborative development while offering a risk-free path to adoption by commercial products - a model everybody should feel very comfortable with."

Sun has released a new development kit aimed at mobile software developers.
Unit testing is hard. There I said it. Although I have been developing software for the past 18 years I still find that putting my applications through their paces via unit testing is difficult. I have learned the lesson (I'm sure like many of you) the hard way. Unit testing is p...
As a software journalist, there are times when certain vendors will shut the door on reporting opportunities that might represent too much of an "inside view" of their technology or their organization. I've been to more developer events than I can remember where I've been handed ...
Just because the web has been open so far doesn't mean that it will stay that way. Flash and Silverlight, arguably the two market-leading technology toolkits for rich media applications are not open. Make no mistake - Microsoft and Adobe aim to have their proprietary plug-ins, ak...
Doing network I/O on the user interface (UI) thread is bad. Most developers know that and can tell you why; unfortunately, it’s still done. At this year's JavaOne, one of the keynote JavaFX demos bombed because the network was slow, something that would be forgivable had the en...
