End-to-end application development
The sophistication demanded in mobile applications often requires client-server interaction. NetBeans Mobility makes this process much easier with two wizard-driven models. For those application developers taking advantage of JSR-172 (the Java ME WebServices API), all you need is a valid WSDL file to use the J2ME Web Service Client feature. NetBeans Mobility will generate an entire application utilizing the Visual Designer model. Developers can decide which features of the particular Web service they want to utilize in their mobile application. From there, developers can use the Visual Designer or the source editor to polish their applicationsor add additional functionality. However, for developers targeting legacy devices that do not support JSR-172, the Mobile Client to Web Application Generator creates both a Java ME client and a servlet plus related classes for an existing Web project. This method can be used to communicate with any existing Web service.

ment and testing experience. Developers can also easily add otherUEI-compliant device emulators, with NetBeans Mobility automatically discovering any installed emulators on the system and offering them as configuration and preview options. Users can also use the Update Center to find, download and install more emulators. Additionally, non-UEI emulators can also be added manually, such as the RIM Blackberry emulator. During actual application development, using theemulators is simple, with a default emulator launching for each configuration, plus a "Quick Run With" option that lets a developer launch any application in any emulator with one move of the mouse.
