Abstract
Making Java run on constrained devices remains a challenge, even nearly a decade after the first attempts to do so. However, the configurations provided by Java ME are helping to meet this challenge by bringing the Java platform to the widest possible selection of devices. By splitting Java into separate configurations—the CLDC for devices with the lowest possible throughput, and the CDC for constrained mobile devices with moderate memory and processing power—Java ME can provide a computing environment for nearly every mobile device.
