This is the specification of Personal Profile 1.1.2.

Introduction

Personal Profile provides an environment for applications that rely upon the AWT heavyweight components. It provides AWT support comparable to JDK 1.1 and includes a number of more recent feature improvements introduced by the Java Platform, Standard Edition. This Profile serves as a suitable platform for web applets and as a migration path for PersonalJava applications.

Changes in this version

A number of features and improvements have been added to this version of the specification, including:

Concerning example code

This specification includes example source code which, in some cases, references classes not defined by this specification. Reference to such classes is merely for the purpose of illustration.

General Requirements

Relationship to Other Java Platform, Micro Edition Profiles

Personal Profile 1.1.2 is based upon Foundation Profile 1.1.2 (JSR-219). Specifically, Personal Profile 1.1.2 includes Foundation Profile 1.1.2. It is also a superset of the Personal Basis Profile 1.1.2 (JSR-217). With respect to APIs in the java.* packages, it is a subset of the Java 2 Platform, Standard Edition (J2SE), version 1.4.2. Applications written to these APIs in Personal Profile 1.1.2 are therefore upward-compatible to J2SE 1.4.2.

The APIs of Foundation Profile 1.1.2 are included in this specification for informative purposes only. (The Foundation Profile 1.1.2 specification overview is included here.) In the event of a discrepancy, the official Foundation Profile 1.1.2 specification takes precedence.

Application Models

This specification defines three application models: Applet, Xlet and (implicitly) public static void main(String[]). An implementation of this specification must observe certain application management requirements. It is suggested that applications consider the following recommendations.

Audio Formats

Implementations of Personal Profile must support the following audio file formats:

Image Formats

Implementations of Personal Profile must support the following image file formats:

Restrictions

Implementations of Personal Profile exhibit certain restrictions relative to the Java Platform, Standard Edition (Java SE). Many of the packages and classes of this Profile are subsets of their full counterparts in Java SE. Additionally, the semantics of the following APIs are subject to mandatory and optional restrictions: For each optional restriction, an implementation of this Profile describes its behavior by means of a system property.
