# SquirrelJME * Copyright (C) 2013-2017 Steven Gawroriski * Copyright (C) 2013-2017 Multi-Phasic Applications * _Lex_ (The SquirrelJME Mascot) was drawn by... * "_Puppenstein_" * Support me on [Patreon](https://www.patreon.com/XerTheSquirrel)! **SquirrelJME** is intended to be a Java ME 8 compatible environment for strange and many other devices. That is, you would be able to have a Java environment on a wide range of _Internet of Things_ devices, older computers (such as the _Amiga_), embedded devices, and mobile devices from old to new. It intends to be 99.9% compatible with Java ME 8 and older J2ME standards. It should be able to run a wide range of older J2ME software which would enable this software to be used for archival purposes. The source is written in pure Java and is designed to use small amounts of memory, where simplicity increases operation speed without sacrificing quality. Note that Java ME 8 has a Java 7 virtual machine with specific limitations and a few changes. ## I Am Open For Hiring **SquirrelJME** is a hobby project (which means I work on it in my spare time) and as such does not sustain me monetarily. If you do like my work please also be advised that I am available for hire to work on a number of other projects potentially. Most of my experience for languages is in _C_, _Java_, and _POSIX Shell_. Although I do not mainly use other languages they can be learned by adapting my current experience with those languages. **SquirrelJME** itself mostly relates to embedded and compiler development. I prefer remote development as it allows me to work from home rather than spending time commuting every day (which wastes time).

Java ME 8 as of this writing only supports the *FRDM-K64F* and the *Raspberry Pi*. There are multitudes of devices that support **J2ME**, however that is horribly out of date when compared with the Java that is used today (**J2ME** is equal to Java 1.4 which was released in _2002_). ## Donations You may donate to SquirrelJME to which would be used by the author to keep the web server online, the purchasing of new hardware/software, and for the purchasing of food items for consumption. * [Patreon](https://www.patreon.com/XerTheSquirrel) * BitCoin (**BTC/XBT**): [`13UYwi2zuQd8NLhjyu1BA7a8NWktDotmq4`]( bitcoin:13UYwi2zuQd8NLhjyu1BA7a8NWktDotmq4) * Ethereum (**ETH**): [`0x9738136f7EcB11d554Ef767704F62216a646e0AB`]( ethereum:0x9738136f7EcB11d554Ef767704F62216a646e0AB) * LiteCoin (**LTC**): [`Lf7d8X9LQ6GMTuwUMtnDqzqdsmQ4W5mN6i`]( litecoin:Lf7d8X9LQ6GMTuwUMtnDqzqdsmQ4W5mN6i) ## Important Statements ***JAVA AND ALL OTHER RELATED TRADEMARKS AND COPYRIGHTS ARE OWNED BY ORACLE CORPORATION .*** ***SQUIRRELJME IS NEITHER PRODUCED BY NOR ENDORSED BY ORACLE CORPORATION.*** ***ALL SOURCE CODE IS WRITTEN BY MYSELF WITH FUNCTIONALITY DETERMINED BY THE DOCUMENTED APIS AND RUN-TIME BEHAVIOR.
