Hi,
I was not at JavaOne this year, but spoke at QCon on a round table discussion
about the present and future of JCP.
One issue we mentioned was JME (formerly known as J2ME) and its fate and future.
Where Rod Johnson (who has shaped the fate of JEE a lot ;-) ) mentioned, James
Gosling's statement on JME and a "blurring" between it and the SE platform he
predicted.
Android certainly speeds up this kind of blurring while those who worked with
mobile devices and languages like myself as early as 2000-01 know, other systems
like Java SDKs on Symbian or Palm also did to some extent (but with less
momemtum then)
I cannot say, if porting phoneME™ to Android really makes sense as much as
elsewhere? Of course, a compatibility layer on this OS beside others (iPhone,
Symbian, future Nokia Linux distros, Palm or RIM) certainly would help, even
though such apps may not use the environment as much as "native" Android apps
can do.
Porting it to iPhone and (unless that's exactly what RIM already offered on
Eclipse?) BlackBerry among others clearly makes sense.
And to come back to James Gosling's theory, I believe, it is the only measure to
rescue the ME platform from drifting into insignificance.
