Introduction

NetBeans is a free open source Integrated Development Environment (IDE) for Software Developers created by “Sun Microsystems”. NetBeans IDE allows developers to create, test, debug and deploy the Java ME applications that run on many Samsung mobile devices, set-top boxes, Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs) and embedded systems.

Samsung SDK is fully compatible with NetBeans IDE. Integrating Samsung SDK with NetBeans IDE reduces development efforts and cost by speeding "Time to Market".

Note: Here NetBeans IDE 6.1 and Samsung SDK 1.1 for the Java ME Platform are used for illustrating integration of Samsung SDK with NetBeans IDE.

Integrating Samsung SDK with NetBeans IDE

Steps to integrate Samsung SDK with NetBeans IDE are as follows:

Step 1:
Launch the NetBeans IDE. 

Go to Tools > Java Platforms as shown in figure 1

(Or)

Go to File > Open Projects. Select the required Project and right click to view the options.

Click Properties from the given options.

Step 2:
Project properties dialog box appears when clicked on Properties or Java Platform options as shown in figure 3.
Click  Manage Emulators...  button.

Step 3:
Java Platform Manager dialog box appears as shown in figure 4.
Click  Add Platform...  button. 
 

Step 4:
Select Platform Type dialog box appears as shown in figure 5.
Select Java ME MIDP Platform Emulator from the options.
Click  Next >  button. 
 

Step 5:
Platform Folders dialog box appears as shown in figure 6.
It detects and shows the Java ME platform present in the system.
Check for Samsung_SDK_11 in the list.

Note: Platform Folders must show Samsung SDK 1.1 as one the options in the window. Absence of this option indicates that Samsung SDK 1.1 for Java ME Platform has not been installed. In that case first install Samsung SDK 1.1 for the Java ME Platform and then follow the above steps before continuing further.

Select Samsung_SDK_11 from the list.
Click  Next >  button

Step 6:
Detected Platforms dialog box appears as shown in figure 7.
It shows information about the selected Samsung SDK under Platform Details.
Click  Finish  button. 
 

Step 7:

Java Platform Manager dialog box with newly added Samsung SDK appears as shown in figure 8.

Samsung SDK 1.1 for the JavaTM ME platform will be shown under Java ME Platform.

Select Samsung SDK 1.1 to view the information about the SDK as shown in Figure8.

Click  Close  button to complete the process.

Congratulations! Integration of Samsung SDK with NetBeans IDE is done. Now, you are ready to develop your Java ME application in NetBeans IDE using Samsung SDK. Please refer for more tutorials in Getting Started under Knowledge Base.
