The document provides an overview of Java's various editions, with a focus on Java 2 Micro Edition (J2ME) and its key components such as configurations, profiles, and optional packages. It details the history and evolution of J2ME, highlighting its adaptations for low-end and high-end consumer devices through Connected Limited Device Configuration (CLDC) and Connected Device Configuration (CDC). Additionally, it explains the Mobile Information Device Profile (MIDP) and the lifecycle of midlets, which are applications designed for mobile devices.

4. History
 1990 Subdivision of Java into Java EE, Java SE, Java ME
 2000-2001 First Java ME supported phones (MIDP 1.0)
 2002 MIDP 2.0
 2004 Java ME supported phones revolution
 2009 MIDP 3.0
 2014 Java ME 8

5. Basics
J2ME is based on 3 core concepts:
 Configurations
 Profiles
 Optional packages

6. Configuration
- is a complete Java runtime
environment:
 Java virtual machine (JVM) to
execute Java
 Set of core Java runtime libraries
 Interface to the underlying system
J2ME
Libraries
Java Language
Java Virtual
Machine

Configuration

8.  CLDC (Connected Limited Device
Configuration) is used for low-end
consumer devices - cell phones, two-way
pagers, personal digital assistants (PDAs),
organizers, home appliances, and point of
sale terminals.

9. Connected Limited Device Configuration
 For very constrained devices, small screens
 160 - 512 KB of total memory
 16-bit or 32-bit processor
 Low power consumption and often operating with battery
power
 Connectivity with limited bandwidth
 May not have a user interface
 Use limited Virtual Machine ( called KVM)
 Selected classes are from: java.lang, java.io, java.util

10.  CDC (Connected Device Configuration) is
used for high-end consumer devices (TV
set-top boxes, Internet TV)

11. Connected Device Configuration
 2 MB or more memory for Java platform
 32-bit processor
 High bandwidth network connection, most often using
TCP/IP
 17 packages
 Full-featured Java2 virtual machine (called CVM)

12. Profile
- Adds features that are specific to a certain device
category such as cell phones or PDAs
- Based on specific configuration

13. MIDP
 MIDP is targeted at a class of devices known
as mobile information devices (MIDs).
The MIDP, specifies the following APIs:
 application (MIDP application semantics and control)
 user interface
 persistent storage
 networking
 Timers

14. Optional Packages
- Implies additional functionality:
 Bluetooth
 Messaging
 Media
 3D

15. MIDlets
 MIDP applications are called MIDlets.
 javax.microedition.midlet.MIDlet
Life Cycle

16. MIDlet Suite
 MIDlets are bundled into a MIDletsuit
contained within a single package.
