Java Platforms - What are available as of now?

I was going through Bill Venners book that describes about JVM... I could see some references about various Java platform:

  • the Java Personal Platform (for consumer devices)
  • the Java Embedded Platform (for embedded devices)
  • the Java Card Platform (for SmartCards)

I thought of looking at details of these platform on Oracle site, I could see details about the Embedded platform, but there is nothing I could see about the Personal/Card platform. Is the information provided in the book stale?Or am I missing something?

I would just like to see specification/System requirements for various Java platform including 'Embedded', 'Card', 'Personal' and any other platform available in the market?

Solution

  • OK.. Following Oracle's website I could see list of Platforms/SDKs available in Java.

    Apart from SE, ME and EE, there are:

    • Java Embedded
    • Java FX
    • Java Card
    • Java TV
