When developers ask this question, they are usually concerned with the range of API support available. However, as has been explained, J2ME presents a very limited API, which does not correspond to any of the standard Sun JVMs. As a result, the correct answer to this question may be misleading. Strictly speaking, J2ME devices have to support the same language syntax and semantics as Sun JDK 1.3, with the exceptions described above – no floating point support, limited garbage collection, etc. However, developers should not assume that any of the standard JDK 1.3 classes are available, but should instead refer o the API documentation for the configuration and profile they are targeting.
