Java
This page is about the Java programming language and Java Virtual Machine.
There is no official Java ME or Java SE from SUN as of yet. Nokia does not plan support because Nokia already supports 2 development platforms: either GTK (Maemo 5) or Qt (Maemo 6) as well as WRT (Web Run Time).
The Nokia 770, N800, N810 CPUs have a proprietary extension called Jazelle which accelerates Java execution however this is technology requires a license. Nokia has not opted for such license hence there is no driver for this. For more information about Jazelle please see the Jazelle entry at Wikipedia.
Nokia N900 contains succesor of Jazelle found on ARMv7, called ThumbEE. This is more general JIT; not JVM-specific. Hardware support (driver) of ThumbEE is unknown.
- Java SE for embedded 6
- ARMv6 Linux - Headless (Early Access) EABI, glibc 2.5, Soft Float, Little Endian
- ARMv6 Linux - Headless (Early Access) EABI, glibc 2.5, Hard Float (VFP), Little Endian
- ARMv6 Linux - Headful (Early Access), EABI, glibc 2.5, Hard Float (VFP), Little Endian
- ARMv5 Linux - Headless (Early Access), EABI, glibc 2.5, Soft Float, Little Endian

- OpenJDK 6 JRE is ported to Debian GNU/Linux ARMEL therefore should work.
- Jalimo, aims for Java SE compliance with pre-SUN_Java_GPLed_code, previously ported to Maemo.
- MicroEmu, Java ME emulator written in Java SE previously ported to Maemo
- phoneME, Java ME emulator written in C previously ported to Maemo.
- Qt Jambi provides Java bindings for Qt. Swing native supported by headful Java versions.
- For Java support in Maemo Browser a plugin is required. (References to be written.)
