J2ME Polish 1.1

how-tos give some tips and tricks on the usage of J2ME Polish.

2004-07-28:

J2ME Polish 1.0.1

The 1.0 release throws a NullPointerException under some circumstances, when the J2ME Polish GUI is not used. Also the device-definition of the Nokia/6100 contained a wrong screen-size. The 1.0.1 release fixes these errors.

2004-07-26:

J2ME Polish 1.0

After nine months of intense programming, the of J2ME Polish has now been released.
It contains several improvements compared to the last release candidate:

• GUI: some memory optimizations result in smaller JAR files as well as less heap usage.
  DateField did not return correctly after editing. This behaviour has been fixed.
  Some new borders and backgrounds have been added:
  • circle-border: a border which draws a simple circle.
  • circle-background: a background which draws a simple circle.
  • pulsating-circle-background: an animated background which draws a circle, which is constantly growing and shrinking.
  • pulsating-circles-background: an animated background which draws ever-growing circles.
• JAD- and Manifest-Attributes: Custom attributes will now be copied only into the JAD file, unless a manifest attributes-filter is used.
• Device Database: Updated and added device definitions. Also added the new "Generic/jsr185" device, which represents a standard MIDP/2.0 device with WMAPI and MMAPI support.
• Preprocessing: The new #message directive can be used to analyse the behaviour of the preprocessing phase:

  	//#message Using update-url "${update-url}".
  	

2004-07-20:

J2ME Polish 1.0 RC7

The RC6 release created invalid JAR-files under Windows. Please update to RC7 release now, when you develop under Windows.

2004-07-17:

J2ME Polish 1.0 RC6

The upgrade now:

• Game-API: Thanks to Jan Peknik the game engine is now much more optimized. Many bugfixes have been made and now MIDP/2.0 games can now be ported to MIDP/1.0 platforms automatically by J2ME Polish.
• JAD- and Manifest-Attributes: JAD- and MANIFEST-attributes are now always in the same order, also the MicroEdition-Configuration attribute is now set correctly for CLDC/1.1 devices. JAD-attributes can now be sorted and filtered with the new <filter>-sub-element of the <jad>-element. Manifest-attributes can be filtered and sorted with the new <manifestFilter>-element. Info-Section: The <info>-element now accepts the additional attributes "permissions" and "optionalPermissions".
• Preverifying: J2ME Polish now supports Wireless Toolkits earlier than the current 2.1 release (again).
• Obfuscating: Several obfuscators can now be combined and used together. Just define several <obfuscator>-elements in the <build>-section. No mixed-case class-names are now used under Unix anymore, since some devices have problems with such JAR files. The integration of RetroGuard had an error (it did obfuscate all classes, even the MIDLet classes), which is now fixed. Other obfuscators can now be integrated easier than ever.
• Preprocessing: Any group to which a device belongs to can now be checked with the "polish.group.[group-name]" One can extend the J2ME Polish preprocessing capabilities using <preprocessor>-element now. The #define directive can now be used for defining variables as well.
• GUI: the GUI can now be extended with the CustomItem, the integration of custom backgrounds and borders has been eased.
• Documentation: The documentation received a major upgrade with the introduction to J2ME Polish and the "Extending J2ME Polish" documentation.

2004-07-06:

J2ME Polish 1.0 RC5

J2ME Polish has matured (again ;-) with the fifth release candidate of version 1.0:

• MIDlets: It is now checked whether the classes defined by the <midlet>-attribute do really exist.
• Integration: On some setups J2ME Polish could not resolve relative paths correctly. Now these paths are always resolved correctly. J2ME Polish integrates now better with NetBeans and some other IDEs therefore.
• Device-Database: Added Toshiba and TTPCom devices, the preprocessing symbols "polish.cldc1.0" and "polish.cldc1.1" can now be used.
• Preverification: floating point calculations are now allowed for CLDC/1.1 devices, but not for CLDC/1.0 devices.

2004-07-01:

J2ME Polish 1.0 RC4

J2ME Polish has matured with the fourth release candidate of version 1.0:

• Bugfixes:
  Calling setTitle(..) now works as well when a Screen has not been shown yet.
  When GUI items are changed while the corresponding screen is shown, the screen is updated immediately.
  
• Device-Database: Added two more virtual devices:
  "Generic/PlainMidp1" represents a MIDP/1.0 device which does not support the J2ME Polish GUI,
  "Generic/PlainMidp2" represents a MIDP/2.0 device which does not support the J2ME Polish GUI.
  Also some other devices have been added: Alcatel, LG Electronics, Samsung, and more.
• Label: Labels are now handled independently and can have their own background, border and so on. The new pre-defined style "label" is now used for the default-design of labels.
• New Resource Groups: A device now belongs to implicit groups for each supported audio of video format. When the device supports the MIDI format, you can use the folder "resources/midi" for example.

2004-06-21:

J2ME Polish 1.0 RC2

The second release candidate J2ME Polish 1.0 RC2 has been published today.
J2ME Polish 1.0 RC2 contains following improvements:

• Bugfixes:
  Using the "polishDir"-attribute of the <build>-element now works in Windows as well.
  Resolved issues with TextField.
  The game-engine now works well on normal MIDP/1.0 devices as well.
• Device-Database: Added all mobile phones of Siemens and a couple of virtual devices:
  "Nokia/Series60" represents a typical Series 60 phone,
  "Nokia/Series60Midp2" represents a typical Series 60 phone with MIDP/2.0 support,
  "Nokia/Series40" represents a typical Series 40 phone,
  "Nokia/Series40Midp2" represents a typical Series 40 phone with MIDP/2.0 support,
• User-defined JAD-Attributes can now be included with the optional <jad>-element, which is embedded in the <build>-element.
• Logging Framework is now much easier with the showLogOnError-attribute. You can now use normal System.out.println() and view those messages on the actual device.

Commercial licenses are now for sale.

2004-06-14:

J2ME Polish 1.0 RC1

The first release candidate J2ME Polish 1.0 RC1 has been published on schedule today.
J2ME Polish 1.0 contains following improvements:

• Game-support for MIDP/1.0: use the MIDP/2.0 game-API (javax.microedition.lcdui.game) now on MIDP/1.0 phones as well! All classes are available: GameCanvas, Sprite, TiledLayer, LayerManager and Layer!
• Complete Item Support: Now the last remaining Item has been implemented for J2ME Polish's GUI as well: Now you can design a Ticker with simple CSS-textfiles, too!
• Device-Database update: The integrated device database now contains all Nokia devices (Series 40, 60, 80 and 90!), all phones from Sony-Ericsson, and all Motorola phones! Optimization has never been easier!

Commercial licenses for J2ME Polish can be obtained in a couple of days.
