The Antenna library provides different Ant tasks for building MIDlets. All steps required in the MIDlet building process is taken care of.
This is a great tool when used with an IDE that does not support the building of MIDlets. Antenna even includes a small preprosessor which lets
you build different MIDlet variants from a single source!
Antenna is reported to integrate nicely with obfuscators like RetroGuard or ProGuard. Running MIDlets automatically after the build process
is also supported.
I have used this library myself through JBuilder (JBuilder does not support mobile development in any of the free versions). I had no problem
getting it all to work. However, you should be familiar with and have a working installation of Ant since Antenna only provides predefined tasks for Ant.
You will find Antenna at the following link:
