NetBeans CDC Emulator Platform Setup Guide

Though NetBeans supports Java Micro Edition (ME) Connected Device Configuration (CDC) development, the IDE does not have a CDC platform included in the installer that allows you to create applications for CDC devices using the Personal, Foundation, or AGUI Profiles. This document provides information about downloading, installing, and registering the Nokia Series 80 Platform SDK for Symbian OS, for Java, Personal Profile for CDC development.

Note:

• If you are using NetBeans IDE 6.9, 7.0, or 7.1, refer to the NetBeans 6.9, 7.0, or 7.1 CDC Emulator Platform Setup Guide.
