Java ME (Micro edition)

 Java split into 3 editions

 JSE: Desktop based with common UI Applications
 JEE: Enterprise based Applications
 JME: Mobile devices

Conceptually, JME is subset of JSE and JSE is subset of JEE

 Java ME: Profiles

• Java ME devices implement a profile (superset of CLDC configuration)

• Mobile Information Device Profile (MIDP)

 Aimed at mobile devices, like cell phones
 Two different flavors; a third on the way
 Applications are called MIDlets

Java ME

 Java ME is the dominant mobile platform

today. Its phenomenal success has been due
it being an open platform from a neutral
vendor

 More than 2 billion Java ME enabled mobile

phones and PDA’s

12/8/21
Java ME Limitations

 Restricted language features

 Its feature set is far less robust than that of Java SE

 Not really go well with all Smartphone's (Iphone’s).

 Considered as old technology to go well with latest
mobile platforms.

Conclusion

 Java is very successful in JEE and JSE world, but could not
really show up the same maturity with Java ME because
of many obvious reasons.

 There are several standards and JSR’s specific for mobile

devices from Sun (now Oracle), however not really
enough to catch up the present mobile revolution speed.

 Hopefully, Java ME picks up and sets common standards

for different Mobile vendors to make portability and
interoperability a smooth process.
