The Java ME GUI APIs at a Glance

Overview When Java ME technology started in 2000 (back then it was called J2ME) there weren't many choices available for developers for graphical API at that time. In fact, the only API that was available was the standard LCD user interface packages of javax.microediation.lcdui of the Mobile Information Device Profile (MIDP). At that time, MIDP was only at version 1.0, and there weren't any tools available like the Sun Java Wireless Toolkit, Netbeans Mobility Pack, or Websphere Device Developer. Now, with so many graphical Java ME APIs available, mobile developers have a different problem: API overload. The current and upcoming APIs of the mobile Java platform allows one to create a wide array of user experiences ranging from vector graphics manipulation to 3D object rendering.
