===================
EclipseME is an Eclipse plugin to help develop J2ME MIDlets.
EclipseME does the "grunt work" of connecting Wireless Toolkits
to the Eclipse development environment, allowing you to focus on
developing your application, rather than worrying about the special
needs of J2ME development.
What's New
==========
- Fix for file locks during build (Bug 1925613)
Installation
============
See http://eclipseme.org/docs/installation.html for installation
information.

Debugging Support
=================
As of the Eclipse 3.0 release, it is possible to debug the KVM/Emulator
including some KVM problems that troubled people in the past releases.
This is thanks to changes made by the Eclipse debug development team.
Debugging support is still dependent on working support from each individual
emulator. Please see the EclipseME documentation for further information
on configuring debugging as well as some of the caveats and limitations.
The online version of this information can be found at
http://eclipseme.org/docs/configuring.html#step4.
What's Missing
==============
There will always be more work to do. To see the functions that may be
added in future release, check the Request for Enhancement section on
the EclipseME Sourceforge project site. The RFE list can be found at
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=86829&atid=581076.
Prerequisites
=============
Version of EclipseME from 1.5 and later require Eclipse version 3.2.1 final or newer.
EclipseME takes advantage of a supported Wireless Toolkit for much of its function,
including preverification and device emulation. You must have a supported
wireless toolkit in order for EclipseME to function. See the EclipseME
documentation for further information about the tested and supported toolkits.
Further information can be found online at http://eclipseme.org/docs/prereqs.html.
