We currently use a headless J2SE 1.5 JRE in an embedded device. A smaller footprint J2SE Java 8 profile is very attractive to us. I think this will go a long ways to bridging the gap between J2ME capable devices and devices that are bigger, but not quite big enough to support a full blown J2SE JRE.

I have a couple questions regarding package selection for the profiles

1. We make use of the JavaMail library in our embedded devices. This requires JAF (javax.activation), which in turn requires java.awt.datatransfer. Has any consideration been given to adding the java.awt.datatransfer package to compact3 profile?

2. We also use LDAP. The javax.security.sasl package is not listed in any of the profiles, however javax.security.auth.sasl is listed. Was javax.security.sasl deliberately excluded?

Thanks, Dan Giorgis Tridium
