It’s finally there. A couple of months ago, I decided to scratch my itch, and work on a dependency injection framework for Java ME. I know many people tried it before I did, and I was aware of the limitations on Java ME that would make it hard to port Spring to the phone.

However, I figured that if you do all of the analysis at build time, and if you also build a BeanFactory geared specifically at your needs, it should be possible.

We have been working with it for quite a while now, and TomTom decided to put it out there, for the benefit of everyone.

Now, we did not cut a final 1.0 release yet. First of all, because some bits of the API are a little - uhm - akward, and we the unit test coverage is not very high yet. However, the current incarnation is proving to be quite usable already.

Below, you find a small introduction into the framework. The PDF document can also be downloaded through http://springframework.me/.
