Application Control

The BlackBerryAPIBlackBerryJava Development Environment JDE provides a complete set of APIs and tools to develop Java applications running on BlackBerry devices.
The BlackBerry device contains a JavaMEJavaPlatformMicroEdition Based on CLDC1.1 and MIDP) runtime environment. The BlackBerryAPI extension provides additional features and is more tightly integrated with BlackBerry.
You can use CLDC/MIDP and BlackBerryAPI in your application. To enable your applications to run on any device that uses JTWIJavaTechnologyforWirelessIndustry, Java Technology in the wireless field), you only need to use CLDC and MIDPAPI to write standard MIDP applications.
