This will be a short walkthrough on how to setup Eclipse IDE for JavaME development on Nokia S60 platform. We will be using EclipseME as an add-on to Eclipse IDE to assist in the packaging and debugging process.

Download

1. Java 1.6 SDK
2. ActivePerl (Optional if you are not doing C++ development)
3. Nokia all-in-one S60 SDK
4. Eclipse IDE for Java Developers

Installation

1. Install Java 1.6
2. Install ActivePerl (Optional if you are not doing C++ development)
3. Install Nokia all-in-one S60 SDK
4. Extract the package in Eclipse IDE to c:\

Installing EclipseME

1. Start Eclipse IDE by clicking on eclipse icon in the c:\eclipse folder
2. You will be asked to select your default Eclipse workspace. It is safe to use the suggested default folder.
3. On the menu, click Help and choose Software Updates.
4. Click on the Available Software and click the Add Site button
5. In the location field, enter “http://eclipseme.org/updates” and click OK.
   
6. Expand the new eclipseme site and tick EclipseME.
   
   The IDE will now download and install EclipseME add-on on your system.
7. When you are presented with an Import Device screen, browse to your S60 SDK installation folder (default is c:\S60\devices\S60_5th_Edition_SDK_v0.9).
   
   The system should scan your folders and list the S60 devices. If not, click on the Refresh button to try scanning again. Tick the devices that you wish to import to your J2ME devices.

Configuring EclipseME

1. On the Eclipse IDE’s menu bar, click on Windows and choose Preferences
2. Expand Java and choose Debug. Modify the settings that are highlighted in the diagram.
   
3. If you have not been asked to setup your devices, you can do so by expanding J2ME and choose Device Management.
   
   Click on the Import button. Browse to your S60 SDK installation folder (default is c:\S60\devices\S60_5th_Edition_SDK_v0.9). The system should scan your folders and list the S60 devices. If not, click on the Refresh button to try scanning again. Tick the devices that you wish to import to your J2ME devices.

Once you reach here, you should proceed to EclipseME documentation to learn more on how to use EclipseME in your Nokia JavaME development.
