New to mobile development, need some help

Hi
I am a using netbeans IDE 6.0 with the mobility pack. My OS is windows
The sun wireless toolkit 2.5.2 for cldc seems to be bundled with the IDE as it shows in the project properties dialog for emulator configuration, even though it does not explicitly show up in the list of installed plugins. (am i correct in assuming this)?

My confusion is that if i look in the list of available plugins, it shows a sun wireless toolkit 2.5.2 for cldc for windows. Can someone please explain what the difference between the two is, and do i need to add this plugin?

Secondly, the cdc toolkit frm the sun website does not seem to be available at the moment, does anyone know why that is?

Also can someone please recommend a resource/site to learn j2me(java me) stuff, i tried following some netbeans and sun examples but i need something a little more detailed to get started particularly about the configuration, profiles and plugins since this is my first attempt at mobile development

thanks for the help

Yes. The NB Mobility is bundled with Wireless Toolkit (WTK).

None. They should be similar. The behavior that you've noticed it bug -

Thank you for message. I reported it to the web site team. This should
be fixed. The product MUST be download able. Sorry for inconvenience.
