The Java APIs defined by JABWT are considered
optional packages for Java ME. Applications written with JABWT are
potentially portable to a wide range of devices with a wide range of
Bluetooth radio modules and Bluetooth protocol stacks.
This chapter gave an overview of Bluetooth wireless technology
and Java ME. These are two very large topics. To learn more about Bluetooth
wireless technology, refer to the Bluetooth specifications [1] or
books on the subject [3, 4]. The following Web sites are good places to
start:
www.bluetooth.com
www.palowireless.com
To learn more about Java ME, see the books by Topley [13] and by Riggs
and associates [14]. Helpful Web sites for Java ME and JABWT are
java.sun.com
www.jcp.org
www.jcp.org/jsr/detail/82.jsp
There are several articles [24], white papers, and tutorials on these subjects
on the Web. There are several newsgroups on Bluetoothwireless technology,
but the following is devoted to JABWT specifically:

This chapter noted the need for Java technology on Bluetooth devices
and explained the process of defining JABWT.
