Run/Debug Configuration: J2ME
J2ME run/debug configuration options vary depending on the SDK you are using to develop your mobile applications. This section describes the options that are specific for WTK and DoJa, as well as the general options that apply to both SDKs.
Item | Description |
---|---|
Name | In this text box, specify the name of the current run/debug configuration. |
WTK-specific options
Item | Description |
---|---|
Jad/Class/OTA | Select, which of the following sources - Jad, MIDlet class or OTA - is used to be run/debugged. Each source has its own settings described below. |
JAD | If you have selected to use Jad file as the source for running and debugging, you need only to specify its location in the Jad File. |
Class Settings | If you have selected to use MIDlet class as the source for running and debugging, specify the following options:
|
OTA Settings | These options can be set, if you have selected to use OTA as the source for running and debugging. This functionality emulates wireless download of the software from the server. Therefore, it is necessary to have a working server with such service and the necessary suite (which you want to install and launch) on it. This service is completely dependent on the emulator vendor and IntelliJ IDEA does not provide it. So, it should be provided by the emulator or separately by the emulator vendor (for instance, like Nokia does). Thus, you need to have three items ready - a server, a service and tested suite on that server. Remember that the actual options list varies from emulator type.

Common options
When you edit a run configuration (but not a run configuration template), you can specify the following options for it:
Item | Description |

| Edit Templates | View and edit the default template for the selected run/debug configuration. The templates are used for newly created configurations. |
/ | Alt+Up/Alt+Down | Move the selected run/debug configuration up and down in the list. The order of configurations in the list defines the order, in which the configurations appear when you choose a run/debug configuration. Default templates of run/debug configurations are always sorted alphabetically. |
| Move into new folder / Create new folder | You can group run/debug configurations by placing them into folders. To create a folder, select the configurations within a category, click , and specify folder name. If only a category is in focus, an empty folder is created. Then, to move a configuration into a folder, between the folders or out of a folder, use drag-and-drop or and buttons. To remove grouping, select a folder and click . |
| Sort configurations | Click this button to sort configurations in the alphabetical order. |
Templates

When you select the Templates node itself, you will be able to adjust general settings that apply to all run/debug configurations:
