1 Overview
This document is a guide to start working with following environments for
“Motorola EMDK for Java” development.
• Eclipse 3.4 SDK (IDE) with WEME (IBM J9 JVM)
• NetBeans IDE 6.0 with NSIcom CrE-ME JVM
Please refer documentation of each IDEs and JVMs for their usage.
To make EMDK for Java development effort easier, use of an IDE is needed.
Each JVM provider has their own recommendations on IDEs which are described
in this document.

1.2 Special Notes
• As of the writing of this document, links provided in this document for third
party web sites are valid. But Motorola has no control over the continuation of
them.
• To make EMDK for Java development effort easier, use of an IDE is needed.
Each JVM provider has their own recommendations on IDEs which are
described in this document.
• This document is only a guideline to start using Eclipse and NetBeans
environments with EMDK for Java. Please refer the respective programmer’s
guide for each IDE for detailed information.

2 Working with Eclipse 3.4 SDK and IBM
WEME
2.1 Configuring Device
To run EMDK for Java applications, it is essential to install a JVM which is
described in this section.
Downloading IBM WEME (J9 JVM)
The JVMs for platforms supported by the Motorola products are available in a
package called IBM Workplace Client Technology, Micro Edition (WEME).
Information on this package is available at
http://www.ibm.com/software/wireless/weme/
To obtain a JVM, contact the IBM representative. The contact details are
available at the WEME trial download homepage mentioned above.
Installing JVM
1. Install the package on the development computer.
2. Navigate to installation folder and locate pre-built JVM ZIP file in
corresponding sub-folder. For example, "C:\Program
Files\IBM\WEME\runtimes\61\wince50-arm-ppro10\" folder contains the ZIP
file "weme-wince50-arm-ppro10_6.1.1.20061110-161633.zip".
3. Extract this ZIP file.
4. Create a folder \Program Files\J9\PPRO10\ in the device (\Program
Files\J9\PPRO11\ for Personal Profile 1.1 JVMs).
5. Copy the contents of the extract (lib and bin folders) to the created folder on
the mobile device.
