In this video, we look at a new feature of Java ME Embedded 8, the ability to establish a communication channel between Midlets in a suite. Previously, in order to communicate between Midlets, you had to use the RMS or write your own socket communications.

In this video, we look at the Software Management API, SWM, introduced in Java ME Embedded 8. This optional API allows you to create applications that load, start and stop Midlets
 

In this video, we look at how to create a system controller using the Software Management API (SWM) to load, install, start and restart a Midlet.
 

In this video, we look at the problem of updating embedded devices in the field, and how to use the system controller to solve that problem.
 

In this video, we look at a proposed architecture for the problem domain that uses inter-midlet communications to separate concerns - to move the sensor reading code into individual MIDlet suites, and concentrate data persistence and client access of the data into a single system controller MIDlet suite.
