Proposal 1: Java ME
Nokia buys Java ME royalities and lets SUN port it
- +) Official implementation, official support
- +) According to a member of the Java Runtime Team at Nokia, some work on this port has already been done.
- -) Probably quite expensive
- -) Closed license
Community ports PhoneME (more info)
- +) GPL
- -) No team as of yet
- -) Not "official", so no advertising of MIDP capability
- -) No info as to how complete this implementation is
Nokia or the community ports a Java SE implementation, and we use something like MicroEmu for ME compatibility
- +-) See above
- -) Might be a bit slower
Use the Google Android's Virtual Machine Dalvik
- +) Open source, fast, mobile phone optimized
- +) It would be great if the Maemo community could profit from all android apps.
Proposal 2: Java SE
Nokia buys Java SE embedded royalities and lets SUN port it
- +) Official implementation, official support
- -) Probably quite expensive
- -) Closed license
Community ports OpenJDK 6 JRE (more info)
- +) GPL
- +) OpenJDK Port of Cambridge Software Labs seems to work quite good on N900: OpenJDK 6.0_0 (Cambridge Software Labs) on N900
- -) No team as of yet
- -) Not "official", so no advertising
- -) No info as to how complete this implementation is
Community ports Jalimo
- +) GPL
- -) Not much activity lately
- -) No advertising, maybe incomplete
Community or Nokia builds Iced Tea
- +) True GPL, no binary components
- -) No team so far
- -) No official advertising
