This document discusses using Java Embedded with the Raspberry Pi for Internet of Things applications. It provides an overview of Java Embedded 8, including Java SE Embedded and Java ME Embedded. It then introduces the Raspberry Pi as a low-cost development board that is well-suited for embedded Java applications. An example smart parking system is presented that uses a Raspberry Pi, NFC reader, and LEGO Mindstorms EV3 to control parking spaces via an embedded Java app and web application.
