Java ME is now open source. http://community.java.net/mobileandembedded/ So, in theory, it could be ported to plan9. Why would anyone do that ? Because the Opera Mini Web browser runs in Java ME environments. http://www.operamini.com/ There's quite a bit of software written for J2ME There's also Opera for devices, which might be worth a better look at. http://www.opera.com/products/devices/ I know it would be a horrible thing to swallow, but there may be something there. matt
