Proposal 1: Java ME

Nokia buys Java ME royalities and lets SUN port it

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

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
  • -) 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
