In 2004 the Java 2 Platform, Micro Edition (J2ME) celebrated its fifth anniversary.

Over the last five years the Java mobility platform has matured through the Java Community Process (JCP), and has earned widespread adoption.
Immediately after the 1999 announcement, KVM rapidly captured the attention of the Java community. Key to this excitement was the Spotless system, a research project at Sun Labs KVM was based on, because it demonstrated, not only a Java runtime operating on a Palm OS personal digital assistant (PDA), but Java's potential on other mobile and embedded systems as well.
Since then, "Java technology for small devices" has been formalized and further defined. One of the first steps in this formalization phase was the recognition that we were looking at a whole new kind of Java platform, and reorganization of the many Java technologies into three Java editions: Standard, Enterprise, and Micro. The Micro Edition is defined by the JCP as "Java technology to specifically address the vast consumer space, which covers the range of extremely tiny commodities such as smart cards or a pager all the way up to the set-top box, an appliance almost as powerful as a computer".
