Tool Setup Instructions

Java Wireless Toolkit, Version 2.5.2

If the course you are setting up requires WTK 2.5.2, follow these instructions to set it up on the student and instructor machines. If you have questions, please contact your courseware vendor.

The WTK requires a Java SDK -- for our courses we use Java 6. If you do not have a Java-6 SDK installed already, start by following separate setup instructions:

Get the Wireless Toolkit here:

http://java.sun.com/products/sjwtoolkit/download.html

Follow links and instructions there to get the WTK installer. Run the installer, accepting all defaults but setting c:\WTK2.5.2 as the install-to path.

Set an environment variable WTK_HOME to point to c:\WTK2.5.2.

Also add this directory to the executable path.

A good test of the installation is to open a command console, change to the WTK_HOME's bin subdirectory, and type the following command:

emulator -Xdescriptor:..\apps\games\bin\games.jad

You should see a small window with a mock-up of a cellphone, with a list of game MIDlets that can be launched and demonstrated. You can simply close the application window.
