The JavaTM 2 Platform, Micro Edition (J2METM technology) spans a broad array of
consumer electronic and embedded devices. Typically, lower-end devices with
constrained resources use the Connected, Limited Device Configuration (CLDC)
technologies. Alternatively, higher-end devices use the CLDC's complementary
technology: the Connected Device Configuration (CDC).
CONNECTED DEVICE CONFIGURATION (CDC)
... for higher-end devices
The Connected Device Configuration (CDC) is intended for higher-end, emerging,
next generation devices. Typically, these devices run a 32-bit
microprocessor/controller and have more than 2.0Mb of total memory for the
storage of the C virtual machine and libraries.
CDC contains the C virtual machine (CVM). The CVM is a full-featured, Java 2
"Blue Book" virtual machine; designed for devices needing the functionality of
the Java 2 VM feature set.
CDC and CVM technologies are targetted for consumer electronic and embedded
devices. These devices include smart communicators, pagers, personal digital
assistants (PDAs), and small retail payment terminals.
Keep your eye out for J2ME technology marketplace developments in the coming
months. Sun is collaborating with industry leading manufacturers, service
providers, and content developers to bring this core technology to market and
enable dynamic, compelling content for users on the go!
