One of the Java ME specifications running in the race for Most Innovative Java ME JSR is IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) Services API, JSR 281. The specification is intended to enable programmers to easily write applications that can integrate with IMS and provide high-level access to IMS functionality for the development of innovative applications. Just finalized, recently advanced to a new development stage or newly proposed these JSRs and many others are indicative of the steady flow of innovation and consistent standards delivery by the JCP community members.
