Mobile Applications with JAVA

Java ME (Java Micro Edition) -> subset of Java SE + mobile specific APIs

with NetBeans:

NetBeans Java ME supports the two base configurations of the Java ME platform, CLDC and CDC.

   * Connected Limited Device Configuration (CLDC) is for devices with less memory and processing power than CDC-based devices. The Mobile Information Device Profile (MIDP) is based on CLDC and more than two billion MIDP devices are in use worldwide.
   * Connected Device Configuration (CDC) is for devices with much greater memory, processing power and network connectivity such as smart phones, set-top boxes, and embedded servers and devices.

In addition, you can also develop applications for the new JavaFX platform to provide similar user experiences across the desktop, the web, phones, television, and other devices. You can learn about JavaFX application development in NetBeans IDE at the JavaFX Developer Center and by looking at the JavaFX samples.
