General Information

This wizard page defines the general parameters for an emulator that is not UEI compliant. You must supply this information:

Platform Home. The path to the directory where the emulator platform is installed. You can enter a path, or use the Browse button to navigate to the directory.

Platform Name. A name for the emulator platform.

Device Name. A name for the specific device the platform emulates.

Preverify Command. The command line syntax that invokes the preverify application to preverify a MIDlet. MIDlet class files must be preverified before they can be run on a device or emulator. The SDK silently handles preverification during the build process. See the CLDC specification for more information on preverification.

Execution Command. The command line syntax that invokes the emulator to execute a MIDlet.

Debugger Command. The command line syntax that invokes the emulator to debug a MIDlet.

To see descriptions of the command line syntax parameters, click in the appropriate field. The description is displayed in the area below the debugger command. Click Next when you are finished.

See Emulator Command Line Options.

Bootstrap Libraries

Based on the General Information you entered, the wizard detects the libraries and APIs the platform or emulator uses. To add libraries, click the Browse button and choose a library file. Click Next when you are finished.

Sources & Javadoc

Given the files and libraries you have chosen to this point, the wizard detects libraries and APIs. To add additional source files or Javadoc files, click the browse button and choose the files you want to add.

Click Finish to register the emulator platform.
