Austin, TX — (press release excerpt) — Metrowerks is releasing the newest version of its toolset for creating applications for Java technology-enabled devices such as smartphones, PDAs, and set-top boxes. CodeWarrior Wireless Studio, Professional Edition, Version 7.0 allows Java application developers to create, compile, and debug Java 2 Standard Edition (J2SE), Java 2 Micro Edition (J2ME), and… PersonalJava applications within a single, tightly integrated development environment.

Developers creating applications for Java-enabled smartphones or PDAs require a very different set of tools than developers creating applications based on Java 2 Enterprise Edition (J2EE). CodeWarrior Wireless Studio was designed specifically to provide developers with a comprehensive set of features for J2ME and PersonalJava application development, including code optimization, SDK, VM and JDK switching, and a small footprint relational database. These features, and the inclusion of SDKs for major handset manufacturers in the CodeWarrior Wireless Studio Version 7.0 CD, enable developers to target a wide variety of devices and to test their applications with various device emulators and simulators.

These tools target a wide range of processor architectures including ARM, DragonBall, Hitachi, M-Core, and StarCore, as well as many Digital Signal Processors (DSPs).

CodeWarrior Wireless Studio is scheduled to be available by the end of March, for $599.
