Now lets run this. for J2ME you will need to setup a J2ME project in Netbeans, please read the J2ME Setup Guide to see how to do this.

Here is what it looks like:

Hello World Swing Hello World SwingME

SwingME app on Java SE

Now lets run in ME4SE so we can use the same SwingME code to run on Desktops. You can find the "midletrunner.jar" inside the lib dir of the SwingMETest project. 

java -cp lib/midletrunner.jar;dist/HelloWorld.jar org.me4se.MIDletRunner -width 200 -height 100 hello.world.HelloWorld
Hello World Java SE

SwingME app on Android

Please read the Android Setup Guide to see how to build a SwingME project with Android Eclipse IDE.

After you have followed those steps you should get something like this:

Hello World Android

Android Native Look And Feel in SwingME

And now lets try the native android Look and Feel, add this code to where you set your LookAndFeel 

         try {
             dp.setLookAndFeel( (LookAndFeel)Class.forName("net.yura.android.plaf.AndroidLookAndFeel").newInstance() );
         }
         catch (Exception ex) {
             dp.setLookAndFeel( new NimbusLookAndFeel() );
         }

Here is what it looks like:

Hello World Android Native
