Lightweight UI Toolkit for Java ME

Description
Writing appealing cross device applications today in Java ME is challenging. Due to implementation differences in fonts, layout, menus, etc. the same application may look and behave very differently on different devices. In addition much of the advanced UI functionality is not accessible in LCDUI and requires the developer to write very low level "paint" type code. The Lightweight UI Toolkit was developed to address these issues. The Lightweight UI Toolkit makes it very easy to create compelling UI's that will look and behave the same on all devices using a programming paradigm similar to Swing. This Toolkit is able to run on CLDC1.1 MIDP2.0/CDC PBP/SE.

FIRE

Description
Fire (Flexible Interface Rendering Engine) is a library that aims to provide a set of easy-to-use extendable components to J2ME developers. The basic set of Fire components offer all the functionality of the J2ME GUI components provided in the midp2 profile (Forms, Items etc.) plus a much more appealing user interface, themes, animations, popup menus, and better component layout. Fire does not depend on device or vendor specific parameters to lay out its components on the screen, thus creating interfaces that look the same on different phones and screen sizes.

Nextel - Open Windowing Toolkit

Description
Nextel's Open Source J2ME Toolkits contain libraries for user interface and RMS development on J2ME handsets.

The windowing toolkit, OWT (Open Windowing Toolkit), employs a container/component model, and provides interfaces to permit developers to create their own user interface components. The toolkit is designed specifically for MIDP handsets with a small amount of screen real estate. It is built on top of MIDP's Canvas class.

The RMS toolkit provides classes that simplify record management on MIDP devices. It offers the following features:

* Store operations can be performed via record objects built on the more primitive byte array operations provided in javax.microedition.rms.
* Record stores can be cached in memory, to significantly reduce record access time in persistent-store intensive applications.
* A vector or array of records to be written to or retrieved from a persistent store via a single method call.
* Records can be uploaded or downloaded from a networked source.
