JIL SDK

The JIL mobile widget SDK offers an integrated environment which allows you to develop, debug and deploy your widgets. The editors in the SDK are customized to facilitate developing your widget, complete with a handy debug tool and emulator to test and preview your widget.

A JIL Widget is a composition of HTML, JavaScript, and CSS combined as a package that can be deployed on a JIL compatible mobile handset. The widget package is self-contained; the package includes all of the support files that are needed by the widget. With this approach, the widget can become a standalone application that does not require any external resources. Any external access issues in running a widget can be safely handled or even avoided.

The widget markup HTML is based on the HTML 4.0 standard. It also supports a rich JavaScript environment with additional JIL API extensions. These extensions support integration with the handset device in the form of Messaging, PIM, and Device interaction. The JIL API also supports robust set of Network Resource API's. With these capabilities, a widget can provide access to Internet based data, information, and services.You can also use a widget for providing integration and access to any existing enterprise apps.

JIL Widgets allow you to develop just one application that can then be used on various JIL compliant mobile handsets. You are no longer constrained to one handset manufacturer or one operating system. Widgets allow you to provide a simple and fast interface that physically resides on the handset. Widgets can provide a simple interface designed to do a specific task, in contrast to what a complex web browser can provide.

Developing widget application is simple with the JIL SDK. It is based on the industry standard Eclipse Software Development Environment. The SDK contains a new widget project wizard to help you create your project in minutes. Using the JIL SDK tools to create the project and required files, allowing you to start your project fast. The JIL SDK contains a handset emulator that helps test and preview your widget end-to-end just as it would be run on actual hardware.
