C.2 Emulated Locale
The microedition.locale property is the MIDP system property that defines
the current locale of the device, which is null by default. For the J2ME Wireless
Toolkit emulator, this value is automatically set to the default locale for the J2SE
environment you are running. For example:
■
If you are running in an English system in the US, the microedition.locale
is set to en-US .
■ If you are running in a French system, the microedition.locale is set to
fr-FR .
For information on microedition.locale , consult the MIDP specification.
You can override the default value by adding the microedition.locale
property to the file {toolkit} \wtklib\ {platform} \ktools.properties file and
define the property as desired, as shown in the following examples:
microedition.locale=en-US
microedition.locale=null
For details on setting a default locale, see the J2ME Wireless Toolkit Basic
Customization Guide.
C.3 Character Encodings
The CLDC system property, microedition.encoding, defines the default
character encoding name of the MIDP environment. In the J2ME Wireless Toolkit
emulator, this property is set according to the underlying window system you are
using. The property’s value is set to the default encoding for the J2SE environment
running on the same window system. For example, in an English window system,
the encoding setting is
microedition.encoding=ISO8859_1
You can override the default value by adding the microedition.encoding
property to the {toolkit} \wtklib\ {platform} \ktools.properties file. For
example, if you want to use UTF-8 as the default setting on Windows, you can set
the property in the {toolkit}
\wtklib\Windows\ktools.properties file as
follows:
microedition.encoding=UTF-8
For more information on character encoding, see the CLDC specification.
