This articles is about Development environment by which developers can start coding their applications in J2ME for different mobiles. A step by Step Wizard based and with snap shots are given though which developer can have clear idea on how to start developing in NetBeans IDE.
Description on how to build and run application is given in much specific way. Installation of generated .jad and .jar files to Nokia devices using Nokia PC suit is explained elaborately.
In short this article could be the first article that every new developer must read before start developing in J2ME.Screen by Screen Instruction gives Developers ease of reading and understanding and implementing same while developing.

This article provides an excellent introduction for beginners to the NetBeans IDE, one of the leading IDEs for Java ME development (Eclipse being the major competitor). The article describes the various features of the NetBeans mobility plug-in.
The article walks beginners through the process of creating a new Java ME project in NetBeans. Also demonstrated are the application flow designer (which allows developers to organise the flow of their application between different screens), the visual designer (which allows developers to design user interfaces using the standard UI components such as choice elements) and the emulator (which allows MIDlets to be run on a simulated mobile device). The article also covers important issues, such as selecting a platform SDK and deploying via Nokia PC Suite to a mobile device.
Over and above the usual IDE features such as code completion, the NetBeans mobility plug-in offers developers of mobile applications a range of useful features, such as integration of different SDKs, the flow designer, screen designer and J2MEUnit testing support. As a user of the NetBeans mobility plugin for almost five years, I’ve found it to be an extremely useful and easy to use development environment.

I've tried to rename HelloMidlet via Refactoring in NetBeans. And then the project has ceased to run on the emulator. I don't know what is wrong.
