MIDlet Runner is a little utility that makes it easy to run MIDlets on your Mac, taking advantage of the excellent MIDP implementation for Mac OS X by Michael Powers. MIDlets are little Java applications written for the J2ME platform, which is itself a version of Java for mobile devices such as phones and PDAs.

The MIDP implementation includes a mobile device emulator which can be used to launch MIDlets, but one has to first launch an X window system such as Apple's X11, and then launch the MIDlet from the terminal. MIDlet Runner just makes this easier by doing the work for you and by making sure your Mac is set up correctly to run MIDlets.

Here are some key features of "MIDlet Runner":
Works by double-clicking or drag and drop.
Assists you in the setup of MIDP and X11.
Automatically handles Jad files.

Requirements:
X11 from Apple
MIDP for Mac OS X from Michael Powers.
