Device fragmentation




Different characteristics of devices must be taken into account
 Physical device characteristics, e.g. display resolution,-size and
buttons, processing power and memory
 Quirks in the OS, API and Java virtual machine implementations
Variation comes also from APIs supported by each device
 Flavours of Symbian (S60, S80, S90) and other mobile OS versions
 J2ME profiles and configurations CLDC 1.0/1.1 and MIDP 1.0/2.0
 Optional APIs for Bluetooth, 3D, Multimedia, Web Services, etc.
 Proprietary APIs from device manufacturers and operators
In addition, there are other operator and market requirements
 Localisation, branding, billing, etc.
New devices and APIs are introduced frequently

Network operators to design and develop
Java solutions for consumers. Content
aggregators license content from it’s
creators and format it to be used with
specific devices and networks.
Content distributors create the revenue by
providing the distribution channels.
Network operators (carriers) and
Infrastructure providers control the wireless
network and own the customer information.
Device manufactures drive the technical
innovation through the new hardware.
The application developers and content
aggregators needs most tools against the
device fragmentation.

Device fragmentation, pre-processing



Definition: Pre-processing changes the source code before it is compiled.
It allows conditional compilation and inclusion of one source file into
another and is helpful when trying to maintain a single source for several
devices, each having its own bugs, add-on APIs, etc. and it enables device
optimization.
The Eclipse JDT could add support for pre-processing, alternative could
be e.g. J2ME Polish, which can be integrated to Eclipse (licensing must be
checked) or re-implementing the similar functionality.
One key feature is the device description database, that helps to create
tasks or actions against similar devices. The device description database
enables that developers can identify and group devices with an keyword,
Can be seen as one definition
that can be used e.g. in pre-processing.

Build management



The build environment is heavily relying on Eclipse, but there are plans to
support also Ant. One planned extension to Ant is the Antenna –project,
which provides a set of Ant tasks suitable for developing wireless Java
applications targeted at the J2ME and Mobile Information Device Profile
(MIDP).
The build management enables that the build process can be configured to
suit for the active project needs. E.g. what build providers are used as
default and how the building process works.
The target device management provides data about selectable devices and
J2ME platforms (SDK Emulators) and enables that the Runtime Platform
Definition. The selected default target Device Platform is then activated to
the projects use.

Base wizards:

 Create Application
 Code Packaging
 Create Class

The base wizards implement the corresponding Use-Case requirements.
One optional scenario may be that Symbian has created an template
mechanism (that is in use currently in C++ side in Eclipse), that the MTJ
could convert to be used in the Java side.

Code Editor

The MTJ code editor is based on the Eclipse
JDT base functionalities.
JDT
The JDT (Java Development Tools) subsystem consists of integrated tools for developing, testing,
and debugging Java (J2SE) applications. The JDT project is managed as part of the Eclipse
Platform top level project.
The JDT Core component defines the non-UI infrastructure for compiling and analyzing Java code.
The JDT UI component provides the user interface elements (wizards, views, editors) and
infrastructure for editing, refactoring, browsing, and searching Java code. The JDT Debug
component handles everything related to running and debugging Java programs.

Deployment and Runtime management



The MTJ provides an Deployment and DevicePlatform frameworks that
supports the existing SDK Emulators and phones runtimes
The framework publishes a Device Platform -interface, that capsulate
(hides) the actual runtime environments and protocols.
The framework separates the different vendors products to own plug-ins

Device Management



The device management in this scope focuses to enable detecting,
visually showing, identifying and visually managing the available mobile
devices.
There should be ability to group devices with similar configuration based
on some criteria. This grouping could be used e.g. in the packaging /
building / localization / deployment / branding processes.
The device model holds each device and

Signing and Obfuscation

Signing

MIDP 2.0 (JSR-118) includes enhanced mobile code and application security
through a well-defined security manager and provisioning process. During the
provisioning the MIDP applications are signed with an certificate, which
ensures their security and makes them trustworthy.
 Trusted MIDlet suites can be granted access to API's without explicit user
authorization, and have wider access to device API's.

Obfuscation

By using an Obfuscator tool, the source code can be made more difficult to
reverse-engineer and also there can be some code optimization benefits
achieved at the same time.
 Obfuscation can be done e.g. through an ANT task that activates an
Obfuscator tool and it performs the obfuscation against the parameterized
source code location.
17.02.2006
19
Localization


Localization (I18N/L18N) is a major issue in the wireless space, where a
single app deployed to a single carrier may need to support many
languages and character sets.
Key requirements:


The Localization architecture should be capable of supporting all languages.
It should remove the need for application developers to decide which encoding
the application will support.
 The Localization architecture should be aware the UI differences in devices so
that the developers won’t have to (e.g. the width and length of a device
screen).
 The localization should enable that the service providers can extend the
language supports during the deployment phase.
 Allow local users to select their preferred languages as provided by the
application. There should be visible UI simulation that enable to verify the UI
immediately when the users switch the locale.

The localization should support at leas two approaches:


By creating a resource file (.properties) and adding there the selected source
files localizable keys.
By enabling such optimization to bind the localization directly to the application.
17.02.2006
20
Application Flow

The Application Flow creates kind a action diagram, where the visible and
invisible actions are drawn on a graphical editor. The AF-editor enables
that developer can design e.g. mobile application UI flow.
17.02.2006
21
GUI Editor





The Eclipse Visual Editor provides an extensible GUI framework, that can
be used in the mobile IDE UI area.
Why VE: The VE’s framework provides a lot of extension points to
different kind of GUI editors
Benefits: The GUI editors would have common base framework and the
there is a need to implement only the delta of the different mobile GUI
editors
Now existing: The base GUI framework.
What is needed: The mobile screen engines with UI widgets to LCDUI
area. VE doesn’t provide any multimedia services yet.

Each Mobile project may select the targeted devices, that the project is supporting. Mobile Project contains
one or more Device Platforms, thus there is only one default mobile SDK active.
The Device Platform and Device instances definition is stored inside the EMF based Device model and the
with extendable persistence component the definition is shared with in several projects.
The Runtime Platform Definition data is also stored and shared among projects and the Fragmentation
Definition can enhance the task to find compatible device groups.
Also the pre-processing can use this to provide and define the device grouping inside the JDT.

Mobile vendor specific view details






Different mobile vendors can use their existing emulators and add the
deployment (emulator) specific plug-in to the MTJ environment. The
emulator specific plug-in may be even in binary format, if it needs to
protect some internal implementation or specification.
The emulator specific plug-in uses the MTJ generic API and also
contributes to the MTJ’s deployment frameworks extension point.
The deployment framework could provide an template from such plug-in
that helps to other vendors to tie up their specific solutions.
The deployment framework supports also that the emulator is discovered
by manual entering the location. There could be a dynamic plug-in, that
‘ties’ the discovered emulator to the deployment framework.
The deployment framework can provide also other extension points, that
enables others to extend e.g. the emulator specific properties, UI’s etc.
The deployment framework provides a plug-in template for existing
emulators, which can dynamically be attached to wrap the specific
emulator.

Deployment framework design
Integrating to the existing SDK Emulators:

Deployment framework
 Enables adding a new SDK Emulator by manually entering the location or by local hard
drive browsing (typical case for existing emulators).
 Hides the used targeted runtime environments behind a few deployment interfaces
 Simplifies the deployment process against the device / emulator variation
 Generalizes the deployment management by encapsulating the SDK Emulator
dependencies to a separate plug-ins, thus enabling it to publish it’s own specific
functionality.
Integrating to new SDK Emulators, which do have a specific plug-in:

Deployment framework
 If the SDK Emulator has own deployment plug-in and the plug-in does follow the
Deployment framework extension rules, it’s automatically instantiated
 Deployment framework instantiates Deployment component and calls its methods via
deployment interface

Deployment component plug-in
 Implements the Deployment frameworks interface
 Contributes to the Deployment frameworks extension point
 May also extend some SDK Emulator specific services to the Deployment framework

Runtime Platform
Definition
• Target environments are seen as Device Platforms by the MTJ environment. Device Platform
contains one or more Device instances.
• MTJ plug-in doesn’t know if the Devices are device emulators or real devices because the
plug-in extension point API hides all implementation details.
• Device instance defines the Runtime Platform that it’s capable to run on.

Deployment
• Deployment interface is generic representation of a entity that is send from MTJ environment
to Device Platform instances.
• Realization of a deployment can be MIDlet, CDC, MEGlet or Resource deployment (or
something else). So the realization is created from source application definitions and f. ex.
MIDlet project deployment consists of Application JAR and JAD files.
• Target Device Platform knows, what’s inside the received deployment and how to handle it.

Signing architecture



There is a SecurityManager, that manages the keys and certificates in the
IDE environment globally.
Each project can configure the signing options and parameters against the
actual needs.
The Signing Provider implements the actual signing and it can be used
through e.g. the Ant scripts.

Obfuscating architecture



It is a well known fact that Java Class (bytecode) files can be easily
reverse-engineered because Java compiler leaves a lot of such
information into bytecode that helps the reverse-engineering task.
Code obfuscation is one protection tool for Java code to prevent reverse
engineering. Code obfuscation makes programs more difficult to
understand, so that it is more resistant to reverse engineering.
Obfuscation techniques fall into three groups:
Layout Obfuscations


Control Obfuscations


Control Obfuscations change the control flow of the program.
Data Obfuscations


Layout Obfuscations modify the layout structure of the program by two basic
methods: renaming identifiers and removing debugging information. Almost all
Java obfuscators contain this technique.
Data Obfuscations break the data structures used in the program and encrypt
literal.
The MTJ enables to use existing Obfuscator -products through an wrapper
plug-in (Obfuscation Provider), that can be further tailored.

The RAD IDE
environment is having
some clear elements, like
the core IDE graphical
and code editor, property
sheet and outline viewer
for IDE environment
objects.
Also the graphical editor
uses the screen engine
for creating the actual
graphical UI presentation
(like WYSIWYG).
Also the mobile
emulators / SDKs’ are
providing the ability to
launch the applications.

The Eclipse Visual Editor
framework provides a flexible
GUI framework, which can be
quite easily extended to e.g.
mobile domain.
The current desktop version
supports JFC and SWT GUI
editors with full set of UI
widgets. The actual screen
rendering is done in separate
rendering engine.
Internally VE uses EMF in
CDE and models the Java
source in JEM.
