19.2 MIDP System Software
In the preceding sections and chapters, frequent references were made to the piece of software called the "system," "MIDP system," or the "execution environment." The MIDP Specification calls this software the application management software, or the AMS. In some documents, application management software is also referred to as the Java Application Manager, or the JAM. The two terms (AMS and JAM) are equivalent.
The application management software in a MIDP implementation consists of those pieces of software on the device that provide a framework in which MIDlet suites are installed, updated, removed, started, stopped, and in general, managed. Furthermore, the application management software provides MIDlets with the runtime environment discussed in Section 19.1.4, "MIDlet Suite Execution Environment."
