Implementation of J2ME in Mobile Application Development

J2ME, a JAVA 2 Platform, Micro Edition provides flexible environment for Mobile Application Development. It has become the new evolving wave in the world of mobile technology. Today, It is one of the substantial and serviceable mobile operating system platforms and so; all the major enterprise IT solutions with various mobile applications development is based on J2ME environment.

Java technologies could be regrouped into three editions, and each is aimed at a specific market segment:

• J2EE - Aimed at heavy duty server systems
• J2SE - Aimed at Standard desktop & workstation applications
• Java 2 Platform Micro Edition (J2ME) - Aimed at small & memory constrained devices and standardize the use of Java technology in wireless devices.

When we talk about mobile application development, J2ME IDE is used to develop applications for Smartphones. It is widely accepted by various leading mobile phone companies like Nokia, Sony Ericsson, BlackBerry, Apple, Motorola and Samsung. Its cross-platform compatibility feature cause everyone to go crazy for this technology. It also provides highly secure and scalable platform to create mobile apps. Smooth user interfaces, alleviates navigation throughout the app, and improved networking abilities are the core benefits of J2ME Mobile App developmen. With the help of these specifications, now it has become more easier to implement latest mobile application development methodologies upon the J2ME Framework to exploit maximum profit of the available resources. There is no any doubt that the future of smartphones and smartphone applications is very bright with the implementation of J2ME(JAVA 2 platform).

J2ME based application could be used in a no. of industries like electronic games and entertainment industry, transportation & eLearning industry, mobile entertainment industry, real estate & loans industry, mobile entertainment industry, mobile games & many other areas such as content industry, courier and distribution industry.

Few major J2ME Technology advantages are listed below:

• Improved security
• Platform independence
• Superior user interfaces with graphics,
• Ability to function off-line out of wireless coverage
• Peer-to-peer networking
• No licensing expenses needed for the SDK
• Integrated network protocols

J2ME is a great platform for Java-based mobile application because it enables the mobile application developers to access an object-oriented programming language. Another factor behind the popularity of J2ME that it offers developers a flexible environment to run several different applications in modern hand-held devices and old, such as set-top boxes, TV, personal digital assistants (PDAs), cell phones, printers, and many more.
