Different characteristics of devices must be taken into account

Physical device characteristics, e.g. display resolution,-size and
buttons, processing power and memory
Quirks in the OS, API and Java virtual machine implementations
Variation comes also from APIs supported by each device
Flavours of Symbian (S60, S80, S90) and other mobile OS versions
J2ME profiles and configurations CLDC 1.0/1.1 and MIDP 1.0/2.0
Optional APIs for Bluetooth, 3D, Multimedia, Web Services, etc.
Proprietary APIs from device manufacturers and operators
In addition, there are other operator and market requirements
Localisation, branding, billing, etc.
New devices and APIs are introduced frequently

This diagram represents the major players

in the wireless industry. Application- and
Content providers have partnered with
Network operators to design and develop
Java solutions for consumers. Content
aggregators license content from its
creators and format it to be used with
specific devices and networks.
Content distributors create the revenue by
providing the distribution channels.
Network operators (carriers) and
Infrastructure providers control the wireless
network and own the customer information.
Device manufactures drive the technical
innovation through the new hardware.
The application developers and content
aggregators needs most tools against the
device fragmentation.

Cash flow exchange

Definition: Pre-processing changes the source code before it is

compiled. It allows conditional compilation and inclusion of one source
file into another and is helpful when trying to maintain a single source
for several devices, each having its own bugs, add-on APIs, etc. and it
enables device optimization.
The Eclipse JDT could add support for pre-processing, alternative
could be e.g. J2ME Polish, which can be integrated to Eclipse
(licensing must be checked) or re-implementing the similar
functionality.
One key feature is the device description database, that helps to
create tasks or actions against similar devices. The device description
database enables that developers can identify and group devices with
an keyword, that can be used e.g. in pre-processing. Can be seen as one definition

The Application Flow creates kind a action diagram, where the

visible and invisible actions are drawn on a graphical editor. The
AF-editor enables that developer can design e.g. mobile
application UI flow.
