Introduction

At the JavaOne conference 1999, the Java 2 Micro Edition (J2ME) was initially introduced. J2ME is a Java 2 platform, specially designed for embedded devices such as consumer electronics, cell phones, and PDAs.

This book covers the Connected Limited Device Configuration (CLDC) and the two profiles available for CLDC, the Mobile Information Device Profile (MIDP) and the Personal Digital Assistant Profile (PDAP).

Note

Note that the PDAP-related information covered in this book is based on the PDAP Public Draft Specification, which may slightly differ from the final specification; see http://www.jcp.org/jsr/detail/75.jsp.
