J2ME

(http://java.sun.com/j2me/index.jsp)

Essentially, J2ME allows you to write software and games to run on mobile phones using Java. It uses a different JDK and VM which limits what you can do carefully to cater for the limited enviroments of mobile phones.

From the J2ME Website:

The Java 2 Platform, Micro Edition (J2ME) provides a robust, flexible environment for applications running on consumer devices, such as mobile phones, PDAs, and TV set-top boxes, as well as a broad range of embedded devices. Like its counterparts for the enterprise (J2EE?), desktop (J2SE?) and smart card (Java Card) environments, J2ME includes Java virtual machines and a set of standard Java APIs defined through the Java Community Process, by expert groups whose members include leading device manufacturers, software vendors, and service providers.
