DSDP/MTJ/Build Process

Create Builds Based on Right API Set

It is useful for the Java developer to know that the builds he is making are supported by the classes in the target phones. The system can create this information during compilation by using the device database information. The goal is that the developer creates only builds for each device based on the right set of APIs.

Create Customer Branded Build

In order to create slightly different versions of the same software, the user must create a branded build. In a branded build the user can replace files from the main project and define code sections to be executed only in this branding subproject.

Create Localized Build

In order to control the amount of resource files in one build the java developer wants to create separate builds for different language areas. Into each build a set of supported languages are included which might cover for example a certain market.

Create Device Specific Build

The distributor of the application requests a separate jad- and jar-files for each supported device. The creation of the separate files is simple work and this can by automated by the help of the system.

Deploy Builds into Emulators

During a project the build must be deployed several times into an emulator. Use case describes reusable deployment configuration.

Remove Debug Features from Release Build

A developer chooses to remove debug information from the source code while preprocessing.

Sign all versions at once

A developer is able to sign several build using one command

Generate build scripts for Ant

Java developer uses system to export an Ant build script that can be used with Ant to build software from Eclipse or from command line.

Create preprocessed build with Ant

Preprocessing is used to solve fragmentation problems caused by multiple target devices. The system can preprocess source code for each of the devices before building the actual software.

Create obfuscated build with Ant

Obfuscation is important for minimizing the Jar file size when developing J2ME applications. The system can perform obfuscation during build process.

Create builds based on right set of APIs with Ant

It is useful for Java developer to be able to build software for multiple target devices at the same time. The system can automatically create builds based on the right sets of APIs for each target device.

Run build in emulator with Ant

It is useful for Java developer to be able to run software in a emulator directly from the development environment. The system can automatically create build and start it in the emulator.
