The Java™ 2 Platform, Micro Edition (J2ME) is designed for use in resource-constrained mass-market consumer devices. One 'profile' of J2ME is the Mobile Information Device Profile (MIDP), which is designed for resource constrained devices like mobile phones, two-way pagers, PDAs, etc. It uses the Connected Limited Device Configuration (CLDC) as its basis.
Visit the Java Community Process website to learn more about MIDP, CLDC and other related topics, such as optional packages like the Mobile Media application programming interface (API) and the Wireless Messaging API.
Java Community Process Nokia and Java
Nokia actively contributes to the Java Community Process in the standardization of application programming interfaces for mobile Java. The first Java standard led by Nokia was the Mobile Media API (MMAPI), also known as JSR-135. This optional interface brings multimedia features to MIDP, allowing for rich media applications utilizing sound, video and image capture, for example. The MMAPI standard was created in an Expert Group of over 20 companies and individuals, representing industry segments ranging from device manufacturers and operators to software and application experts.

One important aspect of MIDP is the ability to dynamically download new MIDlets "over-the-air". This allows consumers to customize and personalize their mobile devices with their favorite applications, and helps create a market for downloadable software applications in mobile devices.
