DSDP/MTJ/UserDocs

This is the main page for documentation effort in MTJ project.

If you're looking for User documentation itself, download and install our latest nightly build and look for "Mobile Tools for Java" inside Eclipse help contents.

Where we are now?

Nowadays, MTJ user's documentation is shipped within MTJ and is accessible through Eclipse Help Menu. The current contents were copied from EclipseME user's documentation together with EclipseME source code. During this process some sections of the documentation became unnecessary, some became outdated and some new sessions are now required.

What’s Next?

Phase 1:

• Update existing documentation to reflect current MTJ status (see bug 238138).
• Publish documentation on MTJ website for online access.

Phase 2:

• Refactor "table of contents" to have sections more aligned with the ones existent on other Eclipse Projects (such as JDT).

Get Involved
