This document is the API specification for the Sun SPOT Libraries as available on the host side.

Sun SPOTs are small, wireless, Java-based devices being developed as a research effort at Sun Labs. They are programmed in Java using the APIs described here.

Sun SPOT devices are based on the CLDC-compliant Squawk VM running directly on the metal. The goal of this project is to produce a flexible, reliable, easy-to-use Java platform for development, prototyping and deployment to small, wireless devices.

These libraries are a work-in-progress. While every attempt will be made to preserve compatibility, future releases will most likely not be backwards compatible.
