J2ME Technologies
Introduction
A highly optimized Java runtime environment, J2ME technology specifically addresses the vast consumer space, which covers the range of extremely tiny commodities such as smart cards or a pager all the way up to the set-top box, an appliance almost as powerful as a computer.

Connected Limited Device Configuration (CLDC) 1.1 
The CLDC 1.1 final specification and reference implementation (RI) are now available for download. CLDC 1.1 is a revised version of the CLDC 1.0 specification, and adds new features that enable new types of applications to be deployed on small, resource-constrained devices, such as mobile phones, pagers, and personal digital assistants.
Java Technology for the Wireless Industry (JTWI) Road Map
The JTWI specification, JSR 185, defines the industry standard platform for the next generation of Java technology-enabled mobile phones that includes CLDC, MIDP, and WMA . Read the open letter from the JSR 185 Expert Group and first official version of the JTWI road map, and learn how the platform will evolve as new standards emerge.
Read the transcript of the May 13 online chat on JTWI with JTWI specification leads, John Pampuch and Roger Riggs, and Sun Senior Product Manager, Nicolas Lorain.
Web Services APIs (JSR 172) - Public Review
Web services are extended to the J2ME platform with the introduction of two new optional packages. One optional packge provides XML parsing functionality, based on the Java API for XML Processing (JAXP). The other optional package defines a subset of the Java API for XML-based RPC (JAX-RPC) providing access to SOAP based web services. Please send comments to jsr-172-comments@jcp.org

Transcript of Online Chat on J2ME Wireless Toolkit 2.0
Read answers to questions on J2ME Wireless Toolkit 2.0 and MIDP 2.0 posted in this chat with J2ME Wireless Toolkit product manager, James Allen, engineering manager, Dov Zandman, lead engineer, Ariel Levin, and MIDP 2.0 engineers, Gary Adams and Mark Young.
Mobile Information Device Profile (MIDP) 2.0
The MIDP 2.0 final specification and reference implementation (RI) are now available for download. This major J2ME release delivers an enhanced user interface, multimedia and game functionality, end-to-end security, and greater networked connectivity to mobile phones and entry level PDAs.
Personal Profile
Reference implementation, specification, and documentation for the Personal Profile are now available. Together with CDC and Foundation Profile, Personal Profile provides a complete application environment for the high-end PDA market. Personal Profile contains the full set of AWT APIs, including support for applets and Xlets. It also contains a complete toolkit.
Personal Basis Profile
Reference implementation, specification, and documentation for the Personal Basis Profile are now available. This profile provides a J2ME application environment for network-connected devices supporting a basic level of graphical presentation.
J2EE Client Provisioning (JSR 124)
This is a technology with special significance for the J2ME platform. Any application, including J2ME MIDlets, can be provisioned through a wireless portal supporting J2EE Client Provisioning. Any user with a consumer device that supports J2ME MIDP and OTA technology can browse the portal and download applications and content.
Java Card Interoperability
Learn more about what makes Java Card platform the most widely adopted, interoperable platform for multi-application smart cards in the market today.
Mobile Media API (JSR 135)
Final review specification available for download. MMAPI extends the functionality of the J2ME platform by providing audio, video and other time-based multimedia support to resource-constrained devices. As a simple and lightweight optional package, it allows Java developers to gain access to native multimedia services available on a given device.
Wireless Messaging API (JSR 120)
The reference implementation (RI), Technology Compatibility Kit (TCK) and final specification are now available for download. The Wireless Messaging API (WMA) 1.0 extends the J2ME platform by providing application developers device-independent access to Short Message Service (SMS) and Cell Broadcast Service (CBS).
