Description: The process of developing a Java application and making it available on a Symbian platform device differs greatly from the processes used on the familiar desktop environments. In this section we will look at this process, using the example application. The process of developing an application for the Symbian platform has three main steps: developing the Java code and supporting files, sound graphics etc. which culminates in testing on the emulator, creating the files to deploy the application to the Symbian interface using AIF Builder so it has an icon and can be run from native interface, and packaging all the application elements in a release file.
