Java Reference
In-Depth Information
Intermezzo
A
s you've read this topic, you've progressed from the basics provided by all implemen-
tations of Java ME through the configurations, profiles, and packages that constitute
today's commercially successful Java ME marketplace. You may have skipped Part 2 or
Part 3, depending on your interest in a specific configuration of Java ME.
In the pages that follow, I discuss some of the most important extensions to the Java ME
platform. Some, such as the MMAPI, can be found on nearly all the Java ME devices in pro-
duction today. Others aren't so prevalent, either because they're new additions to the Java
ME landscape or because manufacturers have had less impetus to bring these APIs to
developers and consumers. Unlike previous parts, which I intended for you to consume
and digest as a main course, these chapters are organized differently. Each is intended to
stand on its own and give you a sampling of the various ways the Java ME platform grows
to meet needs. Enjoy, and bon appétit!
