Introduction
J2ME stands for Java 2, Micro Edition. It is a stripped-down version of Java targeted at devices which have limited processing power and storage capabilities and intermittent or fairly low-bandwidth network connections. These include mobile phones, pagers,wireless devices and set-top boxes among others.
A Sample Wireless Stack would consist of:
- Profiles
- Configurations
- Java Virtual Machines
- Host Operating System
J2ME (Java 2 Micro Edition) is an advanced technology in Java, developed with the help of Java Community Process Program. J2ME is a reduced version of the Java API and Java Virtual Machine that is designed to operate within the limited resources available in the embedded computers and microcomputers.
J2ME is targeted to developers of intelligent wireless devices and small computing devices who need to incorporate cross-platform functionality in their products. A key benefit of using J2ME is compatibility with all Java-enabled devices. Motorola, Nokia, Panasonic all have Java-enabled devices.A J2ME application is a balance between local and server-side processing.
