EclipseME is kind of a "client" of this specification -
when dealing with a WTK emulator, one of the ways it tries to do the import is
via using the information that the UEI interface will
provide.
Interesting that Sun has finally published this
information - Craig had to essentially "reverse engineer" the information during
EclipseME development, because (at least a while back) Sun was hoarding this
spec quite tightly.
Bottom line - Craig designed EclipseME to be able
to import and use any WTK based on a UEI-compliant emulator.

Subject: [Eclipseme-users] Eclipse ME X UEI
Hi,
Sun developed the
UEI - Unified Emulator Interface, available at: http://java.sun.com/j2me/docs/uei_specs.pdf.
The Excerpt below describes what is UEI:
The Unified Emulator
Interface (UEI) is a standard for interaction between Integrated Development
Environments (IDEs) and device emulators. IDE vendors who implement the UEI
specification know that their products will work with a wide variety of device
emulators. Device manufacturers who implement the UEI specification in an
emulator are assured that their emulator will work with a wide variety of
development tools. Developers are happy because their tools and emulators are
interoperable. Customers win because the UEI simplifies the process of creating
applications.
Does the Eclipse ME 1.5 follow
this spec?
Thanks in
advance,
Mardoqueu.
