Sony Ericsson Developer World has recently released Project Capuchin SDK.
The SDK — which consists of a set of APIs, a packaging tool and getting-started tutorials — is now available as a free download at the Sony Ericsson Developer World website.
Sony Ericsson’s Project Capuchin is an API that combines the richness of Flash Lite and Java ME technologies, allowing developers to utilize the best attributes of both software stacks to create innovative and content-rich applications for Sony Ericsson mobile phones. Based on the Project Capuchin APIs, the newly introduced packaging tool makes it possible to package existing Flash Lite content in a MIDlet jar file and the simplest way to utilize the API by using this tool, the advantages of Flash Lite design can be combined with the rich features Java has to offer, including higher levels of complexity, infrastructure access and security.
Again, as we stated before, the Sony Ericsson C905 Cyber-shot is the first phone to support the Project Capuchin API. Developers who utilize the Swf2Jar 1.1 packaging tool will be able to test their applications on the C905 as it comes to market.
