Sun has released (at J1) its Lightweight UI Toolkit (LWUIT) for Java ME, the library, demos and example code, as part of the a new project LWUIT on Java.net:
LWUIT is a UI library that is bundled together with applications and helps content developers in creating compelling and consistent Java ME applications. LWUIT supports visual components and other UI goodies such as theming, transitions, animation and more.
LWUIT seems like a a cool addition/library, and provides a UI API with support for animations, buttons, forms, fonts, layout managers, scrolling and tabs, transitions, styles and themes. Very cool. For 225 KB, LWUIT will help developers add spice to their applications with less effort.
Jonathan Knudsen has written a tutorial that introduces LWUIT.
LWUIT binary library is licensed under Sun License Agreement (SLA), and the source code is licensed under GPLv2.
LWUIT competes with Paxmodept’s UI library and Tricastmedia TWUIK UI toolkits.
