1、 Java 2 Micro Edition and the World of Java1 、Introduction The computer revolution of the 1970s increased the demand for sophisticated computer software to take advantage of the ever-increasing capacity of computers to process data. The C programming language became the linchpin that enabled program
2、mers to build software that was just as robust as the computer it ran on.As the 1980s approached, programmers were witnessing another spurt in the evolution of programming language. Computer technology advanced beyond the capabilities of the C programming language. The problem wasnt new. It occurred
3、 previously and caused the demise of generations of programming languages. The problem was that programs were becoming too complicated to design, write, and manage to keep up with the capabilities of computers. It was around this time that a design concept based on Simula 67 and Smalltalk (from the
4、late 1960s) moved programming to the next evolutionary step. This was the period when object-oriented programming (OOP), and with it a new programming language called C+, took programmers by storm.2、 Enter JavaJust as C+ was becoming the language of choice for building industrial-strength applicatio
5、ns, another growth spurt in the evolution of programming language was budding, fertilized by the latest disruptive technologythe World Wide Web. The Internet had been a well-kept secret for decades before the National Science Foundation (who oversaw the Internet) removed barriers that prevented comm
6、ercialization. Until 1991 when it was opened to commerce, the Internet was the almost exclusive domain of government agencies and the academic community. Once the barrier to commercialization was lifted, the World Wide Webone of several services offered on the Internet became a virtual community cen
7、ter where visitors could get free information about practically anything and browse through thousands of virtual stores.The success of the Internet gave renewed focus to developing a machine-independent programming language. And the same year the Internet was commercialized, five technologists at Su
8、n Microsystems set out to do just that. James Gosling, Patrick Naughton, ChrisWarth, Ed Frank, and Mike Sheridan spent 18 months developing the programming language they called Oak, which was renamed Java when this new language made its debut in 1995. Java went through numerous iterations between 19
9、91 and 1995, during which time many other technologists at Sun made substantial contributions to the language. These included Bill Joy, Arthur van Hoff, Jonathan Payne, Frank Yelin, and Tim Lindholm. Although Java is closely associated with the Internet, it was developed as a language for programmin
10、g software that could be embedded into electronic devices regardless of the type of CPU used by the device. This is known as the Embedded Java platform and is in continuous use today for closed systems.The Java team from Sun succeeded in creating a portable programming language, something that had e
11、luded programmers since computers were first programmed. Their success, however, was far beyond their wildest dreams. The same concept used to make Java programs portable to electronic devices also could be used to make Java programs run on computers running Microsoft Windows, UNIX, and Macintosh. T
12、iming was perfect. The Internet/intranet had whetted corporate Americas appetite for cost-effective, portable programs that could replace mission-critical applications within the corporation. And Java had proven itself as a programming language used to successfully develop machine-independent applic
13、ations.3 、Java Virtual MachineWriting Java programs is similar to writing C+ programs in that the programmer writes source code that contains instructions into an editor, or in an integrated development environment, and then the source code is compiled. However, thats where Java and C+ part ways. Th
14、e compiling and linking process of a C+ program results in an executable that can be run on an appropriate machine. In contrast, the Java compiler converts Java source code into bytecode that is executed by the Java Virtual Machine (JVM).Machine-specific instructions are not included in bytecode. In
15、stead, they already reside in the JVM, which is machine specific. This means that the bytecode might contain fewer instructions that need to be translated than a comparable C+ program.Although the Java compiler generates bytecode that must be interpreted by the JVM at run time, the number of instruc
16、tions that need translation are usually minimal and have already been optimized by the Java compiler.4 、Back to the Future: J2MERemember that Java began as a programming language to create programs for embedded systemsmicrocomputers found in consumer and industrial products such as those used to con
17、trol automobiles and appliances. The development team at Sun worked on Java in the early 1990s to address the programming needs of the fledgling embedded computer market, but that effort was sidetracked by more compelling opportunities presented by the Internet.As those opportunities were addressed,
18、 a new breed of portable communications devices opened other opportunities at the turn of the century. Cell phones expanded J 2 M E : The Complete Reference from voice communications devices to voice and text communications devices. Pocket electronic telephone directories evolved into personal digit
19、al assistants. Chipmakers were releasing new products at this time that were designed to transfer computing power from a desktop computer into mobile small computers that controlled gas pumps, cable television boxes, and an assortment of other appliances.5、J2ME and Wireless DevicesWith the dramatic
20、increase and sophistication of mobile communications devices such as cell phones came demand for applications that can run on those devices. Consumers and corporations want to expand mobile communications devices from voice communications to applications traditionally found on laptops and PCs. They
21、want to send and receive email, store and retrieve personal information, perform sophisticated calculations, and play games.Developers, mobile communications device manufacturers, and mobile network providers are anxious to fill this need, but there is a serious hurdle: mobile communications devices
22、 utilize a number of different application platforms and operating systems. Without tweaking the code, an application written for one device cannot run on another device.Mobile communications devices lack a standard application platform and operating system, which has made developing applications fo
