J2Me Development Environment

I hunted round for a while to find a decent j2me (or is it jMe now?) development environment. I had a go a netBeans and jBuilder but they were all either a bit expensensive or just bust ...

So this is what I use:

Eclipse: Mighty eclipse is fast becoming (if it hasn't already) the de facto java dev environment.

EclipseMe: This is an eclipse plug in that does "grunt work" of connecting Wireless Toolkits to the Eclipse development environment. This enables you to do emulator debugging with eclipse - most of the time ;-)

Antenna: Antenna is a set of Any tasks that enable you to compile, preverify, package, obfuscate, and run your MIDP applications (aka MIDlets), manipulate Java Application Descriptor (JAD) files and manay many more (ronco voice!)

j2MeUnit: J2MEUnit is a Java 2 Micro Edition (J2ME) library containing a unit testing framework for J2ME applications. Regular junit is no use a j2me does not support introspection. J2meunit is ace because you can set it up through ant to run a pile of tests on the emulator. Here's a pic:



FTP ant task: This lets me upload the JADs and JARs from ant.


Well what do you use?
