Oracle Launches Oracle Java ME Embedded 3.2 for M2M

Oracle Launches Oracle Java ME Embedded 3.2 and Updates Oracle Java Wireless Client and Oracle Java ME Software Development Kit

• Oracle today announced a new product in its Java Platform, Micro Edition (Java ME) product portfolio, Oracle Java ME Embedded 3.2, a complete client Java runtime optimized for microcontrollers and other resource-constrained devices.
• In addition, Oracle is also releasing Oracle Java Wireless Client 3.2 and Oracle Java ME Software Development Kit (SDK) 3.2.
• Oracle’s Java Embedded products enable customers and partners to leverage the massive Java ecosystem that includes over 9 million Java developers worldwide.
• Java Embedded technologies are a key component of Oracle’s complete, ‘device to datacenter’ platform, simplifying implementation of Machine to Machine (M2M) solutions.

Oracle Java ME Embedded 3.2

• Oracle Java ME Embedded 3.2 is designed and optimized to meet the unique requirements of small embedded, low power devices such as micro-controllers and other resource-constrained hardware without screens or user interfaces. These include:
  • On-the-fly application downloads and updates
  • Remote operation, often in challenging environments
  • Ability to add new capabilities without impacting the existing functions
  • Support for hardware with as little as 130 kB RAM and 350 kB ROM
• The Oracle Java ME Embedded 3.2 release is built upon the same codebase as Oracle’s well established product for mobile handsets, Oracle Java Wireless Client 3.2
• Target markets well supported by Oracle Java ME Embedded 3.2 include wireless modules for M2M, industrial and building control, smart grid infrastructure, home automation, and environmental sensors and tracking.
• This release brings a commercial implementation of Java for small footprint devices based on the ARM architecture, including Cortex-M and Cortex-A
  • The implementation can be licensed from Oracle as source or binary
  • A standard binary of Oracle Java ME Embedded 3.2 for ARM KEIL development boards based on ARM Cortex M-3/4 will soon be available for download from the Java Embedded section on Oracle Technology Network (OTN). This binary will install as a complete Java ME runtime on the development board, enabling rapid prototyping using Java IDEs.
  • Support for additional off-the-shelf binaries is planned for future update releases.
• Oracle Java ME Embedded 3.2 allows customers to extend the lifetime, flexibility and value of embedded solutions by enabling application upgrades in the field, without compromising the integrity and security of the system. This provides for after-market updates to many industry-certified devices, without requiring whole device recertification.
• With Oracle Java ME Embedded 3.2, applications for small embedded devices are no longer tied to a single hardware platform. Customers can now develop software in parallel with their hardware development to help improve productivity and achieve faster time to market.

Oracle Java Wireless Client 3.2
Oracle Java Wireless Client 3.2 is built around an optimized Java ME implementation that delivers a feature-rich application environment for mass-market mobile devices. This new release:

• Leverages standard JSRs, Oracle optimizations/APIs and a flexible porting layer for device specific customizations, which are tuned to device/chipset requirements
• Supports advanced tooling functions, such as memory and network monitoring and on-device tooling
• Offers new support for dual SIM functionality, which is highly useful for mass-market devices supported by multiple carriers with multiple phone connections

Oracle Java ME SDK 3.2
Oracle Java ME SDK 3.2 provides a complete development environment for both Oracle Java ME Embedded 3.2 and Oracle Java Wireless Client 3.2. Available for download from OTN, the latest version includes:

• Small embedded device support
• In-field and remote administration and debugging
• New Java ME SDK plug-ins for Eclipse to go with the existing support in the NetBeans Integrated Development Environment (IDE) enabling more application development environments for Java ME developers.
• A new device skin creator that developers can use to generate their custom device skins for testing their applications.
