Lenin,
Microsoft’s mobile platform strategy is shifting and so for now I can’t give you specifics with respect to Java ME for Windows Mobile.
Cheers,

hi,
when will Netbeans support LWUIT visual design?

Anand,
The best way to visually develop LWUIT applications is to use the latest version of the LWUIT GUI Builder. It’s still a work in progress but it goes a long way towards enabling you to build compelling UIs visually – it’s actually pretty cool. The plans is to integrate the LWUIT GUI Builder with the Java ME SDK, which will itself be a NetBeans plugin. Watch for this coming soon.

i think with Android platform fragmentation, Java FX can play a role of “native” client uniter. Hacking HTML5 and Javascript alone can be daunting for more complex applications but I think this is where Java FX can really shine. Hope Java FX have not thrown away the typing system of Java.

That’s correct, JavaFX has a strong play as the layer that can unify the development of rich and demanding apps across a wide range of devices – that’s a key goal. The typing system is unchanged from Java – remember, JavaFX 2.0 is now ‘just another Java API’ – albeit, very powerful and dedicated to cross-platform rich client apps.
