19:12		mpasteven	hmm
19:12		mpasteven	This upcoming vJUG seems interesting, especially the adopt a JSR
19:33		pdurbin	mpasteven: this one? Participate in the Future of Java - Virtual Java User Group (London, England) \| Meetup - http://www.meetup.com/virtualJUG/events/235236458/
20:04		mpasteven	yes
20:06		pdurbin	mpasteven: is there a JSR you're particularly interested in?
20:26		mpasteven	yes
20:27		mpasteven	JSR 360
20:27		mpasteven	Although no idea if it is actually abandoned however
20:28		mpasteven	Last mailing list message was 2014
20:28		mpasteven	and the final release was 2014
20:31		pdurbin	huh, Connected Limited Device Configuration 8
20:32		pdurbin	"a framework for Java ME applications describing the basic set of libraries and virtual-machine features that must be present in an implementation" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Connected_Limited_Device_Configuration
20:32		mpasteven	I am implementing that JSR in a project that I work on
20:33		mpasteven	Currently incomplete though
20:33		pdurbin	what sort of devices are you targeting?
20:34		mpasteven	Hopefully everything
20:35		pdurbin	I don't even know what runs Java ME. I assume a Raspberry Pi.
20:35		mpasteven	Yes
20:35		mpasteven	And a few other systems
20:35		mpasteven	I do not believe Oracle has done much with it, at least publically disclosed anyway
20:36		mpasteven	Probably the weakest I would go would be NES-like hardware
20:37		* pdurbin	has fond memories of his NES
20:37		mpasteven	I have had to rethink some things to support such a thing however
20:37		mpasteven	Java ME has optional stuff
20:37		mpasteven	So a NES target would probably just be a few dozen classes
20:38		mpasteven	I am rewriting my build system and writing up an interpreter though
20:38		mpasteven	So to allow me to test configurations as needed
20:40		mpasteven	Such a minimal configuration though, would basically be limited to hello worlds though
20:40		mpasteven	or very simple programs
20:43		pdurbin	reminds me of "Of course it runs NetBSD" https://www.netbsd.org
20:46		mpasteven	Also want to experiment and see how far write once, run anywhere can be taken
20:46		pdurbin	the promise of Java
