Antenna provides a set of Ant tasks suitable for developing wireless Java applications targeted at the Mobile Information Device Profile (MIDP). With Antenna, you can compile, preverify, package, obfuscate, and run your MIDP applications (aka MIDlets), manipulate Java Application Descriptor (JAD) files, as well as convert JAR files to PRC files designed to run on the MIDP for PalmOS implementations from Sun and IBM. Deployment is supported via a deployment task and a corresponding HTTP servlet for Over-the-Air (OTA) provisioning. A small preprocessor allows to generate different variants of a MIDlet from a single source.
Of course you can also do much of that with the J2ME Wireless Toolkit or other Java IDEs, but using an Ant script results in a defined and reproducable build process that is independent of a particular programming environment. See this article for an excellent introduction to Ant as well as reasons for using it.
The Antenna tasks are mostly built around functionality provided by the Wireless Toolkit and thus require this software. If you want to make use of the obfuscation task, you should have one (or both) of the free RetroGuard and ProGuard obfuscators on your harddisk. Naturally, Ant itself is also needed, where version 1.5.0 seems to be the minimum required version as reported by users. Antenna works very well in Ant-supportive IDEs like Eclipse or JEdit.
