  1288. ideal for creating device optimized applications with its powerful
  1289. preprocessing capabilities and the integrated device database.

  1292. created from a single source.
  1293. <br/>
  1294. It contains a logging framework and an optional MIDP-compatible GUI
  1295. which can be designed using the web-standard CSS. With the J2ME Polish GUI
  1296. you can even use MIDP/2.0 features on MIDP/1.0 phones.

  1789. Java "peer" classes or interfaces. It also
