Starting the Simulator of Mobile Client for Handhelds

Context

SAP NetWeaver Developer Studio provides you with a simulator of Mobile Client for Handhelds when you do not have a device available. It represents a complete Mobile Client instance, which runs on the desktop instead of a mobile device. Since it is a Java application, the client behaves identically with a few screen rendering differences. This is because the desktop uses Software Widget Toolkit (SWT) library for rendering while the a handheld device uses embedded Software Widget Toolkit (eSWT) library.

If you have a device available, you can start using it directly.
