Working With Projects

In the last chapter, you learned how the J2ME Wireless Toolkit helps you with the
MIDP development cycle. This chapter delves more deeply into the details of
working with projects, including the following:

Selecting the target APIs for a project

Manipulating MIDlet suite attributes, including the list of MIDlets

Understanding the project directory structure

Including third-party libraries in a project
