MIDP System Software
In the preceding sections and chapters, frequent references
were made to the piece of software called the "system," "MIDP system," or the
"execution environment." The MIDP Specification calls this software the application management
software, or the AMS. In some documents, application management software
is also referred to as the Java
Application Manager, or the JAM. The two terms (AMS and JAM) are
equivalent.
The application management software in a MIDP implementation
consists of those pieces of software on the device that provide a framework in
which MIDlet suites are installed, updated, removed, started, stopped, and in
general, managed. Furthermore, the application management software provides
MIDlets with the runtime environment discussed in Section 19.1.4, "MIDlet
Suite Execution Environment."
