Abstract

Java, with its pragmatic approach to object orientation and enhancements over C, got very popular for desktop and server application development. The productivity in-crement of up to 40% compared with C++ [1] attracts also embedded systems programmers. However, standard Java is not practical on these usually small devices. This paper presents the status of restricted Java environments for embedded and real-time systems. For missing defini-tions, additional profiles are proposed. Results of the im-plementation on a Java processor show that it is possible to develop applications in pure Java on resource con-straint devices.
