An alliance between Sun, Vodafone, Orange and SonyEricsson is working on a way to simplify Java development and deployment for J2me developers world-wide.
During JavaOne, Sun announced that the companies will make available a new set of open source tools as well as improve the Java Verified programme. With these steps, the companies hope to lower the cost of development.
The joint project is called Jata which stands for Java Application Terminal Alignment. With this project, Sun hopes to be able to battle competition from platforms like the iPhone.
