Abstract -------- Abstract: Challenges Facing Wireless Java Application Developers

The market for J2ME-enabled wireless devices is growing rapidly and represents an interesting opportunity for J2ME application developers. However, there are a number of challenges to developing applications for this segment. In this presentation, we will explore some of the issues stemming from the following three areas:

1. The impact of competing J2ME application environments (MIDP 2.0, DoJa 1.5, and VSCL 1.1) 2. How JVM implementation influences application development 3. Coping with JSRs--a survey of the most significant J2ME JSRs

The presentation will be held in English and will conclude with a demo.

Bio --- Mark Stolz is the Technology Architect at esmertec ag. He joined esmertec in 1999 as a Senior Software Engineer with the Jbed Core Development Team.
