Awesome J2ME

An awesome list about Java platform Micro edition(J2ME). Documentation, academic papers, tutorials, communities, IDEs, SDKs, emulators, apps, video games. J2ME is a Java specification designed for old keypad phones and PDAs. MIDP, which is built upon CLDC, is used to create Midlets, which have .jad or .jar extension, and run on platforms like old keypad phones, Symbian and PDAs. MIDP is supported till Java ME SDK 3.4.

Please give it a star(⭐) to raise awareness about J2ME community, and support the development of this project. Read about introduction, setup-process, and history of Awesome J2ME in this blog post. Also check out Awesome Symbian.
