SA developers welcome Java 2 Micro Edition for Linux

11 April 2001 Computer/Embedded Technology

Sun Microsystems' announcement of the immediate availability of the Java 2 Platform Micro Edition (J2ME) for Linux has been welcomed by local developers who are dedicated to developing purely on this platform.

Peter Castle, Senior System Engineer at Sun Microsystems SA, says that a number of strategic development partners have taken the decision to deploy applications for consumer devices, such as palm pilots and cellular phones, on bigger machines and multi-user systems on Linux.

"This is just one more set in their arsenal to develop systems for devices that can run on Java and they are using Linux to avoid being tied into a specific platform. In the business environment, Linux has escalated in popularity and office PC developers are now running the operating system to develop applications such as terminal emulators," comments Castle. "There are a growing number of Java technology developers who are building applications for consumer devices running on Linux. Now, with the availability of J2ME technologies on Linux, the 2,5 million Java technology developers worldwide can support a whole series of next-generation, intelligent services on today's modern clients."

The components of the Java 2 Platform, Micro Edition form a platform for networked devices in the home, vehicle and factory floor, says Sun Microsystems.
