Today I tackle embedding a database within a Java desktop application. Most of the tutorials I've run across talk about creating applications that connect with a database that is managed from a server. This is appropriate for most business applications. However, sometimes you might want to create a more portable application that carries its own data with it, such as an application in which a user manages personal data. —

It's so nice when something is already pre-installed when you buy it: leather seats in your car, central a/c in your house, Java ME technology in your cell phone, 120mm smooth bore cannon on your M1A1 Abrams tank...

Get real, Apple
Things aren't going so well for the iPhone and Apple these days.
First, it appears that the much-anticipated 2nd generation iPhone (the iPhone 3G) doesn't actually perform that well on 3G networks - many users are reporting that 3G connectivity is... —

 Touch Screen Support On The Samsung/Sprint Instinct Device
Chen and myself created a new video featuring some of the touch screen visual effects we demoed in the simulator here on the Instinct device.
No 3D transition effects are demoed since the device doesn't support JSR 184 (notice that LWUIT still runs unmodified on such a device!). We hope to upload additional such videos but most of our devices got confiscated by people around the office (our N95 is completely gone).
September: The Month of Java in Brazil
Let's imagine for a moment, a entire nation talking about Java technologies for a whole month. Think about Brazil then. From September 10th till September 30th, Brazil will have 16 Java conferences, thanks to power of Java User Groups all around. If you are anywhere near to Latin America, consider to drop by. —

Sentilla Labs: A New Java Community Website
Sentilla Labs, a recently launched community website, offers developers a step-by-step guided tour through the project development process, allowing visitors to download code and illustrations and rapidly bring projects to life. Some projects at Sentilla Labs can be created with fewer than 100 lines of code. In addition, developers can upload and display their own projects with confidence because they retain all rights to their code.

Pimp My LWUIT!
This is part one of hopefully a long series covering UI customizations in LWUIT, it is written mostly for the programmers among us and to a lesser extent for the designers (although they can probably grab ideas from here/make them beautiful). I will try to cover as many grounds of UI look as possible, from advanced rendering concepts to animations and customizations. ... —

T-Mobile is rumored to be starting up an App Store themselves, just like Apple has for the iPhone -- except T-Mobile is smarter and will offer Java ME apps instead of the more limited iPhone apps. That's using their noggin.

When a technical project like Google's Android is mired in the quicksand of slipping delivery dates and bailing developers (who are abandoning Android faster than rodents from a sinking Titanic), it's hard for all those still stuck in that quicksand to see all the struggling just makes them sink faster into the pit.

and we tried to integrate as many outstanding features as possible.
We will continue working on bug fixes during the next few weeks before
freezing the 1.2 branch for the final 1.2 QA cycles.

Bigger and badder: The popularity of phoneME Advanced keeps growing and growing. Roger Brinkley pointed out that markmail.org keeps statistics of our https://phoneme.dev.java.net mail forums since we open sourced Java ME technology way back in aught six. Look at that nice upward trend line! :-)

Announcing release of cq3G test suite
The cq3G project is a suite of 48 tests
The tests in the cq3G test suite are based on the Java Requirements of the
Global System for Mobile Communications North America (GSMNA) - 3G Americas
(3GA). The aim of these requirements is to help establish a Java technology
based platform that addresses the needs of operators, device OEMs, technology
partners and Java application developers in the region. Having improved and clearly
specified definitions and requirements for the Java technology on mobile devices is in
the interest of all ecosystem players.

Developing an application using the Sun Java Mobile Enterprise Platform (MEP) requires writing two components: a sync client application that runs on the mobile device and an enterprise connector that enables the MEP gateway to access the back-end system where the data is located. Ryan has already provided an intro on the architecture and features of the client SDK, so in this blog entry I'll introduce the Enterprise Connector Business Object (ECBO) API which is part of the server SDK and can be used to write enterprise connectors. —
