Creating a CLDC Project

A CLDC project uses the MIDP application template and preselects devices that support MIDP and CLDC. The SDK provides a wizard for creating new projects quickly and easily. Most project properties can be edited later by changing the project properties.

The project provides a basic infrastructure for CLDC development. You provide source files, resource files, and project settings as needed.

1. Select File > New Project.

   The New Project wizard opens. Java ME SDK is the only category.

2. Follow the prompts in the New Project wizard, consulting Help if necessary. See Choose Project, Name and Location , Platform Selection, and Specify WTK Project.

3. To run the new project, follow the steps in Running a Project, except select your new project instead of a sample project.

4. Be sure to exit or close the application when you are finished.

   Once the emulator is launched, it runs as an independent process. Pressing the red stop button in the SDK user interface or closing the SDK does not stop the application running in the emulator.

   Applications usually provide a way to terminate. For example, most of the samples offer an Exit soft key, or an option in the soft menu. You can close the application and leave the emulator running (so you do not have to wait for the emulator to open the next time you run the project).

   If you want to close the emulator and stop the project build process, select Application > Exit.

Now that the project has been created, you can modify its properties as described in the following topics: Viewing General Project Properties, Selecting a Platform, Editing Application Descriptor Properties, Building a Project, Running a MIDP Project.
