Java TV

Other packages of the public API include While the framework is general, Sun currently provides support only on Java ME.

[1] Sun's reference implementation for Java TV attempts to limit its exposure to support issues to the full Java Media Framework by having its own small version of JMF that is internally referred to as "jmflite".

As with the limitations of the MIDP emulators that Sun provides, the Java TV reference implementation provided by Sun has not been updated to make provisions for later JDK's such as removing calls to Thread.stop().

This implies that Sun has not yet committed to public plans or a roadmap for taking Java ME beyond JRE 1.3.

If such an upgrade were to take place, it would require significant work on the part of all vendors of Java ME-enabled devices.
