Many in recent weeks and months have focused on Sun's slow movement on the
J2ME RI for ARM processors as its lack of interest in PDAs. However, that
might not be the case.
JSR209 is designed to move components from swing, 2d, image io, and input
method framework to the J2ME based Profiles of Personal Basis Profile and
Personal Profile. However, not everything is simple as
most members voted with a reservatiosn about swing's usefullness in this PDA
area of J2ME.
To be blunt honest I am more apt to agree with
the both no votes from IBM and PalmOS in that if there is enough resources
to run J2SE then that should be done instead of this API on top of J2ME.
Given the amount of concerns about size and suitability of swing within
J2ME both in yes and no votes, I fully expect to see ayear later where the
swing requirements are dropped.
