 JSRs: Java Specification Requests
JSR 62: Personal Profile Specification
NOTICE: Please be aware, this JSR has been replaced (superseded) by a newer JSR, (JSR 217). JSR 62 cannot be used/referenced for Java certifications. All development and certification efforts should be updated to use the current, supported technology. NOTE that this JSR was developed under JCP 2.1, but moved to JCP 2.6 in the Maintenance process. Update to the Java Specification Request (JSR) The change of Specification Lead has resulted in the following change to the original JSR. Section 1.

Section 2: Request
2.1 Please describe the proposed Specification:
The J2ME Personal Profile provides the J2ME environment for
those devices with a need for a high degree of Internet connectivity and
web fidelity. This Profile is intended to provide the next generation
of Sun's PersonalJavaTM environment, and as
such has the explicit
requirement
of providing compatibility with applications developed for versions
1.1.x and 1.2.x of the PersonalJava Application Environment Specification.
The J2ME Personal Profile provides a profile of the JavaTM 2 Platform, Micro Edition in devices characterized as follows:
* Application and localization memory requirements are additional. 2.2 What is the target Java platform? (i.e., desktop, server, personal, embedded, card, etc.)Java 2 Micro Edition 2.3 What need of the Java community will be addressed by the proposed specification?Provide a standard Java 2 Micro Edition profile for devices with relatively limited resources but a need for web fidelity. It will also provide a smooth transition for those utilizing already-existing versions of PersonalJava technology. 2.4 Why isn't this need met by existing specifications?Existing platforms and specifications are targeted at devices equipped with more memory, more powerful networking capabilities and more capable user interfaces, typically desktop computers. 2.5 Please give a short description of the underlying technology or technologies:See section 2.1 for expected underlying device technologies. 2.6 Is there a proposed package name for the API Specification? (i.e., javapi.something, org.something, etc.)N/A 2.7 Does the proposed specification have any dependencies on specific operating systems, CPUs, or I/O devices that you know of?Networking support is required, a hardware user interface capable of supporting GUI functionality and appropriate input mechanisms is required. 2.8 Are there any security issues that cannot be addressed by the current security model?None identified at this time. 2.9 Are there any internationalization or localization issues?Requirements to be researched by the expert group developing this specification. 2.10 Are there any existing specifications that might be rendered obsolete, deprecated, or in need of revision as a result of this work?This specification is intended to supersede Versions 1.1.x and 1.2.x of the PersonalJava Application Environment Specification (as they will be subsumed by this specification). Section 3: Contributions
3.1 Please list any existing documents, specifications, or implementations that describe the technology. Please include links to the documents if they are publicly available.For more information about configurations and profiles, please see the J2ME whitepaper. This whitepaper provides a framework but is not an API proposal. The actual Profile will include J2SE-derived classes. 3.2 Explanation of how these items might be used as a starting point for the work.The J2ME whitepaper provides a framework for defining the goals and scope of the specification. |
