Today

Today it has been announced that Java ME technology is made open source. You can download the source code and run it. But the most exciting for us is that you can test it now as well with two open-source projects JT Harness and ME Framework. Just click on the corresponding links to check these projects on java.net.

The JT harness is based on Sun Microsystem's JavaTest™ harness. It is a general purpose, fully-featured, flexible, and configurable test harness very well suited for most types of unit testing. Originally developed as a test harness to run TCK test suites, it has since evolved into a general purpose test platform.

The cqME project is the home for Java™ ME platform compatibility and quality testing. It contains the ME Framework module and is a portal to the JT harness project site. You can use these technologies to create test suites, including technology compatibility kit (TCK) test suites that test the quality of Java ME technologies and the compatibility of these technologies with their specifications.

Very good!

Alexander, Can I use ME Framework in the Firmware development?

Hi William.
The ME Framework can be used in compatibility and quality testing. It is a set of JT harness plugins that provides support for the Java ME platform. Technology Compatibility Kit (TCK) architects use the JT harness and the ME Framework to construct TCK test suites for Java ME technologies.
But its use is not limited to TCKs. It's possible to extend the ME Framework with additional functionality to support custom test types or a specific platform.

Hi Alexander, u r so happy to b open-source. What do u think about the comments from the Jonathan's blog: "Two issues Jon: First, it's really a tragedy to watch a once great company flush it's technologies away. Rising tides, blah blah, you know you are simply another one to jump on the open source bandwagon, burning the legacy of Sun while hoping to make friends and fool customers that it's good for them. Tragic, and truly, I never thought I'd see this day (and I am/was a customer of yours). Second, all my developers tell me the whole GPL (but don't look at this classpath exception) trick is not fooling anyone. Not interested. When you look back five, ten years from now, when your main revenue base has been winnowed away to a small storage server business, please re-read your blogs and hopefully you'll see your folly. -Mike" Thank u!
