Deployment framework architecture
• The MTJ provides an Deployment framework that supports the existing SDK
Emulators and phones runtimes.
• The framework publishes an deployment interface, that capsulate (hides) the actual
runtime environments and protocols.
• The framework separates the different deployment low-level services to own
components (like UEI, OTA, etc.) with supporting existing proprietary emulator and
phone access (marked as X and Z).
• It also provides a new development branch to the OBEX based deployment, which
can be used e.g. towards to MAC OS environment. Thus this requires that the needed
protocols / protocol wrappers are available.

Mobile vendor specific view details
 Different mobile vendors can use their existing emulators and add the
deployment (emulator) specific plug-in to the MTJ environment. The
emulator specific plug-in may be even in binary format, if it needs to
protect some internal implementation or specification.
 The emulator specific plug-in uses the MTJ generic API and also
contributes to the MTJ’s deployment frameworks extension point.
 The deployment framework could provide an template from such plug-in
that helps to other vendors to tie up their specific solutions.
 The deployment framework supports also that the emulator is discovered
by manual entering the location. There could be a dynamic plug-in, that
‘ties’ the discovered emulator to the deployment framework.
 The deployment framework can provide also other extension points, that
enables others to extend e.g. the emulator specific properties, UI’s etc.
 The deployment framework provides a plug-in template for existing
emulators, which can dynamically be attached to wrap the specific
emulator.

• Device Platform plug-ins have
several different
implementations
• Device Platform plug-ins are
responsible of the
communication protocols
between MTJ environment and
Emulators / Real Devices
• The plug-ins also store all
config data. F. ex. Emulator
plug-in stores the Emulator
SDK root directory itself
• UEI = Unified Emulator Interface
• XEI = Extended Emulator Interface
(Nokia proprietary)
• X = Proprietary Emulator Interface

Deployment framework design
Integrating to the existing SDK Emulators:
 Deployment framework
 Enables adding a new SDK Emulator by manually entering the location or by local hard
drive browsing (typical case for existing emulators).
 Hides the used targeted runtime environments behind a few deployment interfaces
 Simplifies the deployment process against the device / emulator variation
 Generalizes the deployment management by encapsulating the SDK Emulator
dependencies to a separate plug-ins, thus enabling it to publish it’s own specific
functionality.
Integrating to new SDK Emulators, which do have a specific plug-in:
 Deployment framework
 If the SDK Emulator has own deployment plug-in and the plug-in does follow the
Deployment framework extension rules, it’s automatically instantiated
 Deployment framework instantiates Deployment component and calls its methods via
deployment interface
 Deployment component plug-in
 Implements the Deployment frameworks interface
 Contributes to the Deployment frameworks extension point
 May also extend some SDK Emulator specific services to the Deployment framework

• Target environments are seen as Device Platforms by the MTJ environment. Device
Platform contains one or more Device instances.
• MTJ plug-in doesn’t know if the Devices are device emulators or real devices because
the plug-in extension point API hides all implementation details.
• Device instance defines the Runtime Platform that it’s capable to run on.

• Deployment interface is generic representation of a entity that is send from MTJ
environment to Device Platform instances.
• Realization of a deployment can be MIDlet, CDC, MEGlet or Resource deployment (or
something else). So the realization is created from source application definitions and f.
ex. MIDlet project deployment consists of Application JAR and JAD files.
• Target Device Platform knows, what’s inside the received deployment and how to
handle it.

Signing and
Obfuscation
Signing and Obfuscating internal
architecture

10. 10 17.02.2006
Signing architecture
 There is a SecurityManager, that manages the keys and certificates in the
IDE environment globally.
 Each project can configure the signing options and parameters against the
actual needs.
 The Signing Provider implements the actual signing and it can be used
through e.g. the Ant scripts.

11. 11 17.02.2006
Obfuscating architecture
 It is a well known fact that Java Class (bytecode) files can be easily
reverse-engineered because Java compiler leaves a lot of such information
into bytecode that helps the reverse-engineering task.
Code obfuscation is one protection tool for Java code to prevent reverse
engineering. Code obfuscation makes programs more difficult to
understand, so that it is more resistant to reverse engineering.
 Obfuscation techniques fall into three groups:
 Layout Obfuscations
 Layout Obfuscations modify the layout structure of the program by two basic
methods: renaming identifiers and removing debugging information. Almost
all Java obfuscators contain this technique.
 Control Obfuscations
 Control Obfuscations change the control flow of the program.
 Data Obfuscations
 Data Obfuscations break the data structures used in the program and encrypt
literal.
 The MTJ enables to use existing Obfuscator -products through an wrapper
plug-in (Obfuscation Provider), that can be further tailored.

The RAD IDE
environment is having
some clear elements,
like the core IDE
graphical and code
editor, property sheet
and outline viewer for
IDE environment
objects.
Also the graphical
editor uses the screen
engine for creating the
actual graphical UI
presentation (like
WYSIWYG).
Also the mobile
emulators / SDKs’ are
providing the ability to
launch the
applications.

provides a flexible
GUI framework,
which can be quite
easily extended to
e.g. mobile domain.
The current
desktop version
supports JFC and

with full set of
