Mobile Distillery and NetBeans enter strategic partnership to address Java ME development and porting markets
Company: Mobile Distillery
Date: 17 Oct 2008
Marseilles, France, 16 October 2008 - Mobile Distillery, the leading specialist in software solutions for mobile application production and testing services, today announced that it has formed a strategic partnership with NetBeans, the modular, open-source development platform, which is used around the world to create applications for a range of devices, from PCs to set-top boxes to mobile phones.
Mobile Distillery has worked with the NetBeans R&D team and developer community to create a software plug-in which allows developers to use the latest version of Celsius, Mobile Distillery’s award winning mobile development and automated porting suite, directly from within the NetBeans environment. From prototyping and development to porting, Mobile Distillery's Celsius helps Java ME developers design and produce their mobile applications seamlessly across more than 1000 Java, BREW and Windows Mobile
devices, generating significant time and cost savings.
Celsius v5 takes full advantage of the NetBeans Integrated Development Environment (IDE) tools (local compilation, profiler, debug, etc), and with its high level API and powerful set of tools it allows both Java ME experts and developers not familiar with J2ME to embrace large scale mobile development. One of the key advantages of using Celsius is that it abstracts developers from the problem of device fragmentation, meaning they can create applications and services for hundreds of devices from a single set of source code and assets.
Within NetBeans, developers get direct access to the latest features of Celsius, including access to Alembic, Mobile Distillery’s advanced device database of over 1000 fully tested characteristics, performances and behaviours of more than 1000 devices.
“Partnering with NetBeans means that a whole new audience of developers can now quickly and easily get to grips with the market potential offered by the mobile industry,” said Eric Lemaréchal, CEO of Mobile Distillery. “For Java developers used to creating applications and services for the desktop, mobile fragmentation is a huge hurdle to overcome. By giving them access to Celsius, this market becomes truly accessible.”
Mobile Distillery is currently offering free introductory training on how to get the best out of its Celsius platform. For more information visit www.mobile-distillery.com
About NetBeans

The NetBeans IDE is easy to install and use straight out of the box and runs on many platforms including Windows, Linux, Mac OS X and Solaris.
About Celsius
The industry-leading automated porting suite, Celsius is based on a unique Parametric Development® methodology. It allows mobile developers to automatically port different optimized versions of their applications from a single source code to over 1,000 Java, BREW and Windows Mobile devices, whilst ensuring their automatic update to new devices as they come to market. Thanks to Celsius, developers radically simplify and optimize their Java Mobile application development life cycle - from conception and development through porting, testing, certification to deployment and backfilling processes while ensuring their application takes full advantage of the specific capabilities of each device. In 2007, more than 300 different mobile applications had been created using Celsius solution around the world. Celsius servers have generated over 250,000 compilations in total.
