LWUIT 1.5 and latest Netbeans6.9 for J2Me updates

Attended Oracle developer seminar,Chen revealed some of the latest features of the upcoming LWUIT to be released in a month or so.

Key features:
1)Introduction of GUI builder.
This would minimize the time for UI development.We can do the total page design in Resource Editor.The internal methods of components can be accessed directly from Resource Editor.This will gonna be an amazing feature for developers.
2)Cross platform support
Cross Platfrom support enables to install our build in various devices like nokia,Blackberry etc.For Blackberry we have build the code in a different way.Yet to know.

In latest Netbeans 6.9 we have many features that will be enabled on J2ME integration.They are:
1)On Device Debugging.
Till date there is no onDeviceDebugging for NetBeans.LWUIT 1.5 adds Device Debugging.
2)CPU and N/w Monitor.
The CPU and n/w monitor will trace the amount of time taken to connect,which threads are taking more time etc.
3)List of devices support
An option under Netbeans 6.9 enables us to get the list of devices supported by our Midp . And also we can just check the JSR ,which will give the list of suppoted devices.
4)Different resolutions testing.One solution
The emulator can be maximized ,minimized and change to size what ever you want using cursor.So all resolutions testing can be done very easily.
