Abstract
Mobile Java development using CLDC and MIDP can be very restricting, not only because of the more restricted libraries and older Java language, but also because some very basic development tools are not available in many situations. One of the biggest problems when debugging a midlet – a CLDC/MIDP application – is that when running a mobile Java application in a real device, stack traces are not available. Also other tools, like profiling tools, only work in certain emulators. In this paper, a set of improved tools for mobile Java development is introduced. Instrumentation, a well-known technique is used to work around the restrictions of the Java sandbox. Consequently no special support is required from the platform.
