JMS is platform independent Java api (set of interfaces) for reliable message oriented communication in queue or topic-subscriber model. It may be used for communication between computers using different network technologies since it is not bound to any specific network technology. JMS is part of Java 2, Enterprise Edition (J2EE) platform, so it is unavailable for wireless devices running MIDP. JMSME aims to provide this missing functionality to MIDP devices (such as mobile phones and PDAs).

JMSME is free (licensed under LGPL), open source JMS client api implementation for mobile (MIDP) devices. JMSME stands for JMS Micro Edition, and JMS is Java Message Service. JMSME works, and remains reliable even if device resources (especially memory) are very limited, and network connection is very unstable. Our main goal was to retain reliability of JMS and to minimize network overhead (mobile devices usually have slow nettwork connection). For more details see JMSME features page.

JMSME itself consits of two parts:

• library (set of java classes) for MIDlets (MIDP applications) providing JMS access through our proxy server.
• proxy server that acts between applications using our library and JMS.

JMSME has also a project site containing:

• bug tracking system
• feature request system
• releases management
