Great This will definitely reduce the development time, cool user interface library , was thinking of reinventing the wheel myself, LWUIT came to rescue.
Hope LWUIT compete’s well against other framework and remains stable..

Good one. It may help a new UI development in J2ME and would be helpfull to reduce the development time for better UI.

“good light, skinnable and free alternative”

J2ME Polish is not free, except for non-commercial use.

Yes, size might be an issue…
Also biggest competitor now on this area is J2mepolish too, who have a good light, skinnable and free alternative….

Thanks for the great writeup!
The license will be GPLv2+Classpath Exception allowing for proprietary MIDlet development as long as you return library changes to the community.
225kb is without obfuscation, the obfuscation overhead is roughly 100kb for a very heavy application and 50kb for a lighter application.

Hi,
Nice to see this. Somehow i feel that library size might be a bottle neck, anyway it actually depends on kind of application you working on.
In context to developing animation, just want to add that, if you are concerned just with application, this seems best, if you are working on Games, have a look at Motion Welder.
