Java ME technology was originally created in order to address the constraints associated with building applications for small devices. For this purpose Java ME technology was defined to fit such a limited environment and make it possible to create Java applications running on small devices with limited memory, display and power capacity.

Java ME platform is a collection of technologies and specifications that can be combined to construct a complete Java runtime environment specifically to fit the requirements of a particular device or market. This offers a flexibility and co-existence for all the players in the eco-system to seamlessly cooperate to offer the most appealing experience for the end-user.

The Java ME technology is based on three elements:

• A configuration provides the most basic set of libraries and virtual machine capabilities for a broad range of devices,
• A profile is a set of APIs that support a narrower range of devices, and
• An optional package is a set of technology-specific APIs

Oracle Java ME Embedded is a Java runtime that leverages the core Java ME technologies deployed in billions of mobile devices around the world. The Java ME specifications are designed to be rich in functionality, portable to a wide range of devices, flexible, and secure while being very resource-efficient and keeping the demands on the underlying platform low.

Oracle Java ME Embedded builds on this proven technology to deliver a highly-optimized and complete client Java runtime stack optimized for resource-constrained, connected, and intelligent embedded systems. It provides a robust and flexible cross-platform application environment based on Java ME CLDC with dedicated embedded functionality for a broad range of use cases. Oracle Java ME Embedded is supported by a range of best-in-class developer tools, such as the Java ME SDK, as well as NetBeans and Eclipse plugins. These tools offer system designers and developers a rich and productive environment to create sophisticated small embedded solutions leveraging the benefits of the Java language, runtime, and ecosystem while meeting while meeting tight system resource targets. The figure below illustrates the product stack-

Example Use Case

• And more, including the general M2M (machine-to-machine) space

Key Advantages

• Complete solution for a highly-optimized client Java runtime stack optimized for resource-constrained, connected, and intelligent embedded devices
• Providing a robust and flexible, cross-platform application environment for small embedded solutions
• Very low footprint and CPU requirements, scaling from micro-controller class systems up to mid-range embedded devices
• Fully compliant with CLDC 1.1 (JSR 139) and IMP-NG (JSR-228) plus support for a number of additional optional JSRs: File I/O API’s (JSR-75), Wireless Messaging API’s (JSR-120), Web Services (JSR-172), Security and Trust Services subset (JSR-177), Location API’s (JSR-179), XML API’s (JSR-280)
• Dedicated embedded functionality for developing sophisticated embedded solutions, including remote application management and monitoring, remote system configuration, support for robust 24x7 operation, and direct access to peripheral I/O from Java
• Highly portable and extensible system design to meet the needs of diverse embedded requirements, providing a foundation which enables downstream specialization, enhancements, and productization for specific target markets and use cases
• Supported by best-in class tools: Java ME SDK and plugins for NetBeans and Eclipse – including support for device emulation and remote on-device debugging
• Backed by Oracle’s expertise in proven and widely commercially deployed Java ME technology

By using Java technologies for embedded products, device manufacturers, system integrators, and developers can build more functional, robust, secure, and long-lived solutions with a reduced time-to-market window, providing better, more cost efficient embedded solutions.
