Recognizing the burgeoning interest in using the combination of Linux and Java in embedded systems and smart devices, LinuxDevices.com has created this Embedded Java+Linux Quick Reference Guide, which we hope will assist you in locating Linux/Java-based solutions that match your embedded system requirements.
This guide is organized in 3 parts :

• Embedded linux + Java : wave of the future? in this article, which serves as the introduction to this quick reference guide, LinuxDevices.com founder Rick Lehrbaum discusses some of the reasons why Java is increasingly being used as an application platform within a diverse range of Linux-based embedded systems and smart devices.
• Articles and whitepapers on linux / Java topics : these articles and whitepapers provide both overview and technical information about using Java in Linux-based embedded systems and smart devices, including definitions of Java-related terminology and comparisons among Java and Java-like architectures.
• java products and projects : an index to Java-based software projects and products that may be useful in developing Linux-based embedded systems and devices.
