It also provides an Integrated Development Environment (IDE) that is based on the Sun Forte(TM) IDE but optimized for J2ME development. The Bluetooth Edition comes complete with two Zucotto Bluetooth Communications Boards with Bluetooth Radio, Baseband and Antenna; a Bluetooth Software Stack; and Java Bluetooth API.
