Managing Developer Plans
Developer plans define the set of APIs that developers can use in applications that
they submit. Profiles define the classes in a specific library that developers can use.
A Developer plan contains one or more profiles.
The Content Delivery Server provides a default Developer plan. You can customize
this default Developer plan for your needs, or you can assign a different plan as the
default. New Developer accounts are automatically assigned to the default
Developer plan. You can edit the account at any time to assign a different plan.
Developer plans control developer access to the Catalog Manager. You can assign
more than one Developer plan to a developer account, so you can make the
Developer plans as specific as you need for control within your enterprise.
For example, as an administrator, you can create a set of profiles that include various
API sets. Using these profiles, you can create developer plans that provide varying
levels of access to developers. The Basic Profile could include the basic API set
required to run an application, such as user interface and MIDlet APIs. Other
profiles could include various API sets, such as timer classes and storage
information. From the set of profiles defined, you could then create the following
developer plans:
■ Basic Developer Plan - Includes the Basic Profile.
■ Intermediate Developer Plan - Includes the Basic Profile and two other profiles.
■ Advanced Developer Plan - Contains the profiles contained in the Intermediate
Developer Plan as well as additional profiles.
