We are now continuing the wiki competitions but are now focusing on Java ME and the new packages that comes with the Sony Ericsson Java Platform 8. Java Platform 8 includes a number of new JSR's and supports JSR 248 (MSA specification).

The new JSR's are the following :

JSR 211 - Content Handler API

JSR 179 - Location API

JSR 177 - Security and Trust Services API

JSR 239 - JavaTM Binding for the OpenGL® ES API

JSR 238 - Mobile Internationalization API

JSR 229 - Payment API

JSR 226 - Scalable 2D Vector Graphics API for J2METM

JSR 180 - SIP API

JSR 234 - Advanced Multimedia Supplements (not only the camera capabilities)

Since this means a myriad of new exiting possibilities for developers we are very interested to get good and interesting articles on these areas that helps people to use these JSR's and demonstrate innovative ways of using them.
