Aspose.BarCode for J2ME can run with Java enabled mobile devices with the following platforms:
- CLDC 1.1
- MIDP 2.1
This example uses the Netbeans IDE and Java Micro Edition SDK 3.0 emulator in our example for generating and recognizing the barcodes.
Please make sure that you have Netbeans IDE with J2ME platform installed on your system. If not, you may download it from http://netbeans.org/.
