Java 2 Micro Edition

| Posted in | Posted on

Recognizing that "one size doesn't fit all," Sun has regrouped its innovative JavaTM technologies into three editions: Micro (J2METM technology), Standard (J2SETM technology), and Enterprise (J2EETM technology). Each edition is a developer treasure chest of tools and supplies, that can be used with a particular product:

. Java virtual machines* that fit inside the range of consumer devices
. a library of APIs that are specialized for each type of device
. tools for deployment and device configuration
. a profile, that is, a specification of the minimum set of APIs useful for a particular kind of consumer device (set-top, screenphone, wireless, car, and digital assistant) and a
specification of the Java virtual machine functions required to support those APIs

J2ME technology specifically addresses the vast consumer space, which covers the range of extremely tiny commodities such as smart cards or a pager all the way up to the set-top box, an appliance almost as powerful as a computer. Like the other editions, the J2ME platform maintains the qualities that Java technology has become famous for:

.built-in consistency across products in terms of running anywhere, any time, over any device
. portability of the code
. leveraging of the same Java programming language
. safe network delivery
. applications written with J2ME technology are upwardly scalable to work with the J2SE and J2EEPlatforms

With the delivery of the J2ME platform, Sun provides a complete, end-to-end solution for creating state-of-the-art networked products and applications for the consumer and embedded market. J2ME technology enables device manufacturers, service providers, and content creators to gain a competitive advantage and capitalize on new revenue streams by rapidly and cost-effectively developing and deploying compelling new applications and services to their customers worldwide.
