Why are you wasting your time, the last JavaME was released is 2014. What is it that you are trying to do that you think needs JavaME. Furthermore, I may not be correct but I think support for Java 8 has also been dropped. You would be better served by keeping both NetBeans and Java at their latest releases. I don’t suppose that’s any help but you need to understand why you want to use old technology.

It doesn't even leave a log I think. Can someone please help me with this? It's the only way I can start developing stuff in Java ME (Micro-Edition). For context, I'm trying to learn how to develop BD-J (Blu-ray Disc Java) so I can program custom menus, and it requires Java ME as far as I'm aware.

As per the original post, JavaME is required for working on custom-coding Blu-ray menus and Blu-ray programs (the type that sit on the burned disc itself). There is NO WAY to do any programming work on Blu-ray Discs without JavaME. Trust me, I checked. Searched for days for some kind of alternative way, there isn't one. Furthermore, I asked a question, and instead of answering, you ask me why I'm "wasting my time" when you apparently don't even know WHY I'm doing this. When someone asks you where a good pizza place is, do you say "Why are you wasting your time with pizza? Just get a burger!"? I hate that this is such a major part of internet culture right now... Oh and while support for Java 8 has been dropped, it is still very possible and easy to develop for and run Java 8 stuff. I'm just having trouble getting proper plugins for JavaME support to install/run on NetBeans because they were made for version 8.1, not 30. |

There are many packages/modules in JavaME (and JavaTV as an extension) that are required to even BEGIN to develop for a Blu-ray Disc. Such as the .mobility module and the .BDLocator module, which is only available in JavaME combined with JavaTV and the BSB Profile. Unless you can find a way of using all of these and programming a Blu-ray Disc in general, with current JavaSE versions, then I suggest you either work with me towards finding the answer to my original question, or let someone else answer instead. |

Despite your tone have you looked here? It took less than 30secs

Good luck!
