CLDC applications
The CLDC application model is a specification of a framework for Java® ME. A CLDC application extends the UiApplication class and starts with a standard main() method.
Most of the sample applications that the BlackBerry® Java® Development Environmentincludes use the CLDC application model. All of the core BlackBerry applications (including message list, contacts list, calendar, and the browser) are built as CLDC applications.
