JavaME SDK 3.0 - A step back?

Unfortunately this is a bit of a rant; but can someone state any reason why JavaME SDK 3.0 represents progress for the developer?
It seems like my development environment just took a massive step backwards:
- No UI configuration of the Platform: where did the nice preferences and utilities console go from WTK2.5?
- The configuration functionality that remains seems to be limited to a handful of CLI apps in /bin/
- My Thawte codesigning certificate is no longer recognised and the MIDlet refuses to run signed. No root certificates supplied with WTK3.0?
- No Linux version.
- After fixing a low memory issue that didn't occur in WTK2.5, my midlet now just fails with an 'InstantiationException'.
I got the same results with the version included in Netbeans, and the latest standalone download from Sun.
The [release page|http://java.sun.com/javame/downloads/sdk30.jsp] seems to state the reason for this release is to integrate different Java profiles under one SDK, but given how much functionality useful to J2ME developers has had to be torn out to make this work; I have to question whether it was worth it.
The only other 'improvements' I can find to put a finger on is the inclusion of LWUIT - which is a great library - and BDJ stubs, however these were both very easily added by including a jar library in Netbeans anyway.
Im generally a big fan of Java technologies but this seems to be a shambles of a release - yes developers are techies and to some degree can be expected to find their own way through issues, but this release breaks so much stuff, it just seems like Sun are expecting too much adaptation from us. Who here has the hours in the day? After much wasted time trying to resolve the issues with 3.0, I think I'll be going back to WTK2.5.
Am I missing something?

There is no "toolbar" folder in Java ME SDK installation dir anymore. All developer tools are moved to Netbeans plugins.
Remember, that Java ME SDK consists of two parts: emulator and developer tools.
In the given use case only emulator and other command line tools are accessible (see "bin" folder). You can run samples or your Java ME applications via command line interface.
To develop, debug and profile your applications you have to install Netbeans (6.9.1 or later, latest 7.0.1 is recommended) and Java ME SDK Tools on top of it.
You can do it either via installer (Netbeans have to be installed before you start Java ME SDK installation) or later from Netbeans Plugins manager (see Developer Guide in "docs" folder for details).
So, nothing wrong with installation in your case.
The only problem is the broken shortcut for documentation in Start menu. We will fix it soon.

JavaME SDK 3.0.5 not launching on Windows 7 64 bit OS using JDK 1.6.0_27 x8

I installed JavaME SDK 3.0.5 on top of JavaME SDK 3.0 without uninstalling it at C:\Java_ME_platform_SDK_3.0.5 on Windows 7 64 bit OS using jdk1.6.0_27 x86.
The installation went fine but i am not getting any shortcuts to launch JavaME SDK 3.0.5.
No shortcut menu item for JavaME SDK launcher is available in start menu or no shortcut is available on desktop.
Menu item group in start menu is created for JavaME SDK 3.0.5. It contains
"Documentation" and "Uninstall" shortcuts only.
When i clicked "Documentation" shortcut it complains for missing index.html file.
I checked there is no toolbar folder present inside C:\Java_ME_platform_SDK_3.0.5.
There used to be one for 3.0 at C:\Java_ME_platform_SDK_3.0\toolbar.
I do have jdk1.6.0_27 x64 installed too. Does it creates any problem?
Am i missing any installation or configuration step?
I don't have netbeans installed on my computer.

This continues for ages. The errors just keep on coming, and the mini IDE never launches. I do, however, see the device manger appear in the menubar for a couple of seconds, before it disappears and I get the next error. This repeats too.
I have tried deleting the package from my applications folder, and the only support folder I can find: <username>/Library/Application Support/javame-sdk several times, and this has not helped.
If i can provide any more useful info, please let me know - the log files mentioned in the error messages are so large I didn't think posting them would be helpful.
I've been working on trying to solve this for several painful hours now, and any help you can offer would be gratefully received!

JavaME SDK 3, touch support on MSA phone.

Hi,
is there a way to enable touch support on
JavaME SDK 3 using MSA phone?
Before, we can edit this file DefaultCldcMsaPhone.properties
to enable touch supports but now there is no option to enable touch in that file...
Please help.

All the phones in SDK 3.0 come back with true. Really bad and stupid.
Testing with the WTK via netbeans, it works and I've looked though all the .properties files with no joy.
stupid... and of course this thread is 8 months old and still no fix.

CS6 Auto-Save: 1 step forward, 1 step back

I have done a little testing with the auto-save, and there is some progress with CS6 - especially in the area where earlier versions would stop playback or scrubbing to fire off an auto-save.
It looks like the auto-save does not stop playback or scrubbing on the timeline anymore. It will stop you from other operations such as moving an audio slider or other non-critical mouse clicks. I tested with 1 minute intervals, and it appears that it won't auto-save during playback or scrubbing in the background, and will wait until the next interval after playback has stopped until it saves. (Instead of taking the very next possible moment after playback has stopped to makeup for the save) This seems like it could create the possibility that if you are playing back or scrubbing during multiple interval moments, you could have a long period where there are no auto-saves - especially if you set the interval to a high number. Like I said, I only tested with a 1 minute interval, so maybe this functions differently if you save every 10 or 20 minutes. Maybe then it will do an auto-save right after playback has stopped if it has been awhile.
The step back is that if you hide PPro, (I'm on a Mac, btw) instead of just bouncing the dock icon during an auto-save like previous versions, it will actually bring PPro to the front and block out/cancel anything else you are doing on your machine. How annoying! I can't figure out the reason to have it function like this. If it is simply hidden behind other windows, it does not do this, instead only brings to the front the small auto-save progress bar - It only happens if you hide the appplication. For example, if you are moving back and forth between PPro and AE, you could be working away on a comp in AE and suddenly PPro jumps to the foreground to let you know it did an auto-save. Since I have 2 monitors, I like to hide apps that I'm not working in to hide pallettes and other windows so I can have my desktop back. Seems like the solution for now is to not hide PPro ever and to do a proper save more often to avoid the issue of potential long periods of no auto-saves. (And submit a bug report?)
Anyways, long post for a potential trivial thing, but for those who care about this, it is a change. Anyone else experiencing this?

Jim,
Exactly, and that is what the "1 step forward" is with CS6. It drove me crazy when Auto-Save would interrupt playback. I was suggesting that it would be a better option that if you are playing back during an auto-save interval, it should take the very next opportunity to fire off a save, like maybe after hitting stop when there is a moment of downtime. However - in my testing - it looks like it skips that interval completely and waits for the next one. So, if you have it set to save every 10 minutes, but are playing back your timeline during each of those 10 minute intervals, it will never auto-save even if there are large stretches of time in between when you are doing nothing. It seems like it could be more intellegent about when it saves, and do it quieter in the background.

New Desktop for PC a step back?

I like my BBerry 9810 and think it’s the best phone you make and I recommend it. I’ve had BBerrys, iPhones and an Android phone and still stick with BBerry.
However, your new BlackBerry Desktop Software for PC looks like a step back to me.
First, the transition to version 7 from previous versions created havoc with my device.
I ended up erasing everything on my 9810 and starting over. Took more than an hour. Shame on you not making this a seamless transition.
The new software detected all sorts of incompatibilities between my existing device data and my Outlook data that the previous synch version accepted. Took time to reconcile.
Second, with version 7, unless I am mistaken (and I could be) we have lost the ability to INDIVIDUALLY decide how to reconcile device vs. Outlook data conflicts. The conflict resolution appears to be an all-or-none decision. Either I check the ‘apply to all’ box or I can only decide on one pair of conflict records when I hit OK. I want to be able to decide for each pair of conflicting records what to do individually, as well as have the en masse option.
While I’m on my soapbox, it would be nice if you offered an inexpensive wireless synch service for non-Exchange users like me. Again, Apple’s Mobile Me, now their iTunes/iCloud does this for their individual users. I’m still synching my 9810 by wire.
Thanks.

I installed the Blackberry Desktop upgrade over the weekend. The first time I synced my device with Outlook the program found 200 "conflicts" that were not there 2 days before. This was a major problem with my Outlook calendar in terms of duplicating a number of entries. I actually went back to January 2012 and corrected the duplicates in Outlook then did a one-way sync replacing all of the entries on the device. What a pain.
In addition, the "Intellisync" software routinely completed the entire sync process in less than 2 minutes. The new software required over 20 minutes to complete the process INCORRECTLY. HOW CAN THIS BE CONSIDERED AN UPGRADE???
I also am frustrated that there is NO WAY to communicate DIRECTLY with Blackberry without paying a fee. Why stay loyal to a company that makes it hard for customers to provide feedback?

LR3: Synchronize Folder a step back

If I synchronize a folder that has several subfolders, I can no longer de-select any of the subfolders. This is a huge step back and I thought it would be resolved in the final version.
Also, I really wonder why now there are those completely different dialogs for Import/Synchronize Folder and Import from Catalog. Doesn't make sense.
Thomas

I found a solution (at least in my case). It's so simple as this: just batch rename every problematic file using its own name within Lightroom. I don't know why, but after doing it LR doesn't find "new" pictures (already existing in the catalog).
Hope this can help you.

Adobe Reader X a step back-wards??

hi,
just wanted to let someone out there know, that since I upgraded to reader x from v.9 (by checking for updates) the program will no longer open .pdf's it just locks up, I know to fix this might be to un-install the program and reinstall, but in all my years of using acrobat reader, I have never had to do this and don't particularly want to now.
Also, I note that the new X version is not as user friendly or as functional with the tools and that the selection of the tools is long winded and a time waster, plz see the light and bring back v.9s tool choice and ease of use, the way to pick tools with the check box system was much better, easier and user friendly, plz bring this feature back, I am considering dropping Adobe reader altogether and opting to use NitroPDF, this is functional as acrobat reader used to be...
I hope your programmers with take a step back and conceder; if it ain't broke, don't fix it...
regards,
rosshi

Thanks. I also did an uninstall, but downloaded 9.4.0; it seems to be
working fine (however, I've just noticed that X is wanting to download
again. I have to "close Adobe Reader Updater" - it can't take no for an
answer!
Have a good day!

IPhoto 11 a step back-

Well first of all, I love Apple products, but iPhoto 11 is a step back compared to the predecessor. The way how one is using iPhoto 11 got more complicated, not intuitive and it feels so sluggish. Like a cheap Microsoft copy of iPhoto… Really, the most annoying thing are the new carussels to select cards and calendars. The system slows completely and it takes minutes to select them. Also the way how MobileMe Galleries are treated is so unconvinient. So please Apple don't do good things worser. And I hope the next update to iPhoto and iLife will be more comfortable again to use.
Thanks. (I hope someone from the Apple iLife Team reads that, or even Steve Jobs).

1 - this is not a path to Apple - iPhoto menu ==> provide iPhoto feedback
2 - yes it is different but for me it is much better and a lot faster - maybe you simply need to take time to go through the small leaning curve - there are many new options in print products and overall it is a nice step - and is more intuitive (just different from the previous version - which was different form iphoto 6 - which was different form ...)

CF Card/SD Card storage location in JavaME SDK

Hi All,
I am using JavaMe SDK(not WTK). I need to access CF card. Earlier when I was using WTK I used to keep it in appdb/filesystem/root1/ folder. But I cannot find any such folder in JavaME SDK. I can find only one 'root1' folder in my SDK installation location. But that seems like not correct one. I am using DefaultFX touch phone profile.
Please help me.
Thanks DM

Any help....?

JavaME SDK 3.0 storage capacity

Hi,
I am using Sun JavaME sdk 3.0 for developing JavaME applications. I want to know how to increase the storage capacity in sdk 3.0.
In sdk 2.5 i can go to edit->preferences in the toolkit and change the storage location and the maximum storage capacity, but i am not able to find it in sdk 3.0.
Therefore please let me know how to do these settings in sdk 3.0.
Regards,
Madhu.

Hi
It'd indeed be nice to increase the storage capacity, which seems to be about 200kB by default. Also, it's not persistent, but gets deleted after the emulator closes. I found properties files in toolkit-lib/devices/<device_name>/conf but they don't have any properties for storage.

Step Back/Forward vs Play (Smoothness)

After 10 seconds of continuously using 'step forward' or 'step back' in multicam mode I start experiencing some serious video stuttering, however, when i just play (spacebar) the sequence, there is no stuttering.
3 avchd tracks, 1 wav track,
no effects on any tracks,
all media on internal 7200rpm HDD at about 50% full capacity

8GB 1600 memory
ATI Radeon HD 5800 series

d: Previews, Media Cache, Exports - 1TB 7200RPM
e: Media, Projects - 1TB 7200RPM
Resource monitor registers a consistent 9MB/sec when playing (spacebar) sequence, but varies wildly from 0-20MB/sec when using 'step forward' or 'step backward'
Is this normal? any thoughts?
Thanks

When stepping forward, each frame has to be decoded without caching, because your next step may well be to step backward or some other action. When playing each GOP can be cached, so it is a lot easier on the system. At least that is what I'm guessing. Your CPU (AMD), memory (only 8 GB) and GPU (AMD) are not very fast, so on a fast system this may not be very noticable, but it will be on your system.

Time machine email restore won't step back

I am trying to find and thus restore old emails which are missing, but when I go to the appropriate mailbox, then Time Machine, and select an older date, nothing happens. It own't step back. I have done this several times in the past and it worked fine. I ran Repair permissions, and oddly nothing was found wrong, and then shut down. What's wrong?
