Websprocket has released JEMIni, a free, open-source Java programming language for embedded networked systems. JEMIni includes a set of foundation libraries equivalent to those found in commercial Java distributions. JEMIni also includes libraries suitable for device drivers, embedded system design, and embedded system design automation. JEMIni source, which is released under GPL, is available for public download, here.

Mark Medovich, Websprocket CEO, said “Websprocket is pleased to have contributed many enhancements to the Java programming platform, including real time Java technology and Java technology device drivers. The open source community serves as an ideal vehicle for driving Java technology into embedded devices.”

About JEMIni

JEMIni is Websprocket's open source Java class library (.lang, .io, .util, .net) distribution. As a set of essential libraries supporting the Java language, JEMIni contains all of the current libraries from open source Java. JEMIni also includes Websprocket-developed packages for device, device driver, system resource management, device management, file management, real-time threads, and messaging.

Although the Java platform lacks APIs for device drivers, boot, target debug, processes, and MP, Java is flexible enough to be used to describe APIs for these. If a designer needs to add a component to the design hierarchy, the JEMIni APIs and open sources are general purpose enough to accommodate most needs.
