J2ME(TM) CDC/Foundation Profile/Personal Profile Readme

Please note that the binary itself is not contained in this CD-ROM. Please read the following introductions and instructions to download the binary from the Java Developer Connection(TM).

J2ME(TM) Connected Device Configuration (CDC), Foundation Profile, and Personal Profile is the Java technology designed for consumer electronics and embedded devices based on J2SE(TM) technology. A set of J2ME(TM) Connected Device Configuration (CDC), Foundation Profile, and Personal Profile are positioned as the technical successor of PersonalJava, which is pre-installed on the Sharp Zaurus(TM).
As performance and footprint optimizations are strongly required for such resource- limited devices, the CVM Virtual Machine built-in the CDC not only fully supports the specifications of Java Virtual Machine, but still designed to work with much less resources.

This implementation is designed to work best on Sharp Zaurus SL-C700, fully tuned and optimized to perform as a part of enterprise solution. It also incorporates HotSpot(TM) technology for CDC to provide higher level of virtual machine performance and is ported to work with Qtopia for graphics performance.
Because this new Java technology is based on the J2SE JDK 1.3 APIs, it offers higher level of friendliness with J2SE(TM) and J2EE(TM) technologies and is the best suited environment for enterprise solutions and applications.

The "Programmer Guide" contains tips and guidelines for programmers developing applications, applets, Xlets, graphics libraries, and APIs with the Personal Profile API..

PLEASE NOTE that this binary is an early access implementation and has not been fully QA'd or completely implemented to the Personal Profile specification. This is for evaluation purposes only and cannot be used for commercial purposes at this time.
