Seriously? Nice for whom? Java ME has been dead for years, it's still mentioned here and there because there are millions of devices still running it today, but hardly anyone develops new stuff in Java ME these days. Besides, "Android Java as the standard for Java ME" makes no sense to me. The API's have nothing in common and Java ME is still stuck in a world of Vectors and Hashtables. Let it die, let's focus on the new generation of mobile OS and forget that Java ME ever existed. > Besides, they have just now added the JIT.

It's implementations that improve performance, not magically bumping version numbers. Nothing prevents a JVM that only supports 1.2 to be faster than Sun's 1.6 JVM. -- Cédric -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
