Java Platform, Micro Edition

Java Platform, Micro Edition or Java ME is a computing platform for development and deployment of portable code for embedded and mobile devices (micro-controllers, sensors, gateways, mobile phones, personal digital assistants, TV set-top boxes, printers). Java ME was formerly known as Java 2 Platform, Micro Edition or J2ME.

Java platform editions
  • Java Card
  • Java ME (Micro Edition)
  • Java SE (Standard Edition)
  • Jakarta EE (Enterprise Edition)
  • JavaFX (bundled in Oracle's JDK from versions 8 to 10 but separately since 11)
  • PersonalJava (Discontinued)

The platform uses the object-oriented Java programming language, and is part of the Java software-platform family. It was designed by Sun Microsystems (now Oracle Corporation) and replaced a similar technology, PersonalJava.

In 2013, with more than 3 billion Java ME enabled mobile phones in the market, the platform was in continued decline as smartphones have overtaken feature phones.
