Using JSR82 in Java Application

Question

Hi,

I am trying to write a Java application showcasing Bluetooth features. On general search, I found JSR82 has been defined for the same.

I am not able to figure out exactly how to use it. I am using standard java 1.6 and I believe for JSR82 implementation I would need J2ME running.

I need help to understand how to use the 2 java editions together. I have never worked with the Micro Edition before. Would appreciate any inputs.

Thanks & Regards,

Keya

Answer 1

You can simple try using a JSR82 implementation on your mobile device - it should work.

This site has some good information about it.

Here are two JSR82 implementations I know of:

• Bluecove
• Avetana

Answer 2

Go to http://java.sun.com.

Install the jdk and the latest full version of Netbeans for your linux computer.

Use Netbeans to create a HelloWorld mobile application

Run it in the Wireless ToolKit emulator packaged into Netbeans.

That should work right out of the box.

You then need to read the JSR-118 specification to understand how a MIDlet works.

Then read the emulator documentation to figure out how to provide bluetooth data to your MIDlet.
