I wish I knew what was going on with JavaME. The fact that late last year MIDP 3.0 was finalised made me think it would be bit pointless to have a new version of MIDP if no-one was interested in JavaME. I don't think JavaME is going to attract much media attention and I do think it is a degree of decline. The question is whether it is declining as fast as some are making out as even this thread seems to be full of disagreement on whether it is in decline.
For all the problems and limitations of JavaME, it did at least work based on a committee of members deciding what would go into it. With Android, in spite of all the posturing about openness it seems to me that Google is the only one directing the platform. That said, this approach worked for Windows Mobile in the past and in a more extreme sense with iOS (though in the latter case it only runs on one manufacturers hardware). Given that I still have an unfinished JavaME project in the pipeline, it is not so reassuring when people keep saying JavaME is dead. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
