"Bluetooth Application Programming with the Java APIs Essentials Edition"

1. However,
nothing in the JABWT specification is intended to preclude operating
with version 1.0??“compliant stacks or hardware. In addition, if future
versions are backward compatible with version 1.1, implementations of
the JABWT specification also should operate on those versions of stacks
or hardware.
Since JABWT was completed, two new versions of the core specification
have been released. All of the features available via the JABWT are
still available with these newer specifications. The one area the JABWT
did not prepare for was how the profile specifications would evolve. In
particular, many of the individual profile specifications utilize L2CAP
PSM values previously reserved by the Bluetooth SIG. (PSM values are
explained in Chapter 8.) JABWT restricts access to the reserved PSM
values.
2.1.3 JABWT Use Cases
Any technology does better when more applications are created for it.
Standardized APIs foster an environment to create a variety of applications.
In addition, standard APIs make it possible for certain types of
applications and markets that otherwise would not be possible. The
portability of Java applications and standardization of JABWT facilitate
the use cases discussed herein.
Peer-to-Peer Networking
Peer-to-peer networking can be defined and interpreted in many ways.
For the purpose of this discussion, a peer-to-peer network is defined as a
network between two or more devices whereby each device can be both a
server and a client.
