This is for anyone to post what JSRs they want/hope/need are implemented.
I read: http://docs.blackberry.com/en/developers/deliverables/5827/Support_for_standard_Java_APIs_446981_11....
That listed the current supported JSRs (I don't know when it was last updated because RIM announced JSR-239 support [OpenGL ES] and API 5.0 has JSR-234 support as well).
My desired JSRs (by going down JBenchmark's results list [JBenchmark JSR support]:
- JSR-113 (Java Speech API 2.0): I would find this useful for some applications that I am thinking of making/porting, at the same time I have read multiple times on the Java Forums that people would like speech recognition/synthesis. I remember in JDE 4.7 this was actually implemented. It was removed for the component pack and JDE's since that version, but I can always hope it will return.
- JSR-184 (Mobile 3D Graphics API for J2ME): This is redundant but it is made more for mobile phones, thus, there are more Java applications on the internet that use M3G then OpenGL though I would prefer OpenGL because it is lower level and more powerful. M3G would probably be easier to use.
- JSR-229 (Payment API): Since a payment API is already coming out, it would make a good non-RIM API addition and could just be built on top of the new payment API.
- JSR-290 (Java Language & XML User Interface Markup Integration): I am primarily a .Net programmer and fell in love with WPF and the BlackBerry. One thing about WPF is it allows you to make a UI independent of the programming logic. This way I can write all my code and then add a basic GUI, later simply update the XML and get a better GUI. It is also easier to design for different systems. This could be just like that only with BlackBerry GUI components or J2ME GUI components.
I don’t know if any of those will appear (hoping for at least JSR-113). What other JSRs would you like to see.
