What is wrong with the WTK’s preverifier?

There is nothing wrong with it in so far as it does the job. The problem is that it was written in C, for the Microsoft Windows platform. It has since been ported to Solaris and Linux, but Sun does not support these new versions (yet). Problems with porting the preverifier limit the platforms on which the WTK will run. What is clearly required is a preverifier written in Java, so that the whole J2ME development process can be platform neutral. There are a number of open-source and commercial projects underway to develop such support.
