These chapters are followed by a quick-reference section that details each class of the CLDC and MIDP APIs, along with tables that show which Java packages and classes are available in each configuration and profile.

Java in a Nutshell introduces the Java programming language itself and provides an API quick reference for the core packages and classes of the Java 2 Standard Edition (J2SE) platform. Java Enterprise in a Nutshell does the same for the APIs in the Java 2 Enterprise Edition (J2EE). The CDC and its profiles are actually large subsets of the J2SE API, and, therefore, this book ...
