• Source code for the Personal Basis Profile 1.0 and JSSE for CDC 1.0.
  Sun is preparing a download of these components (which will also
  include Java TV), but this probably won't be ready before October 2008.
  In the meantime, you can get a copy of "fake" stubs that contain the
  correct API signatures, but that have had the API element descriptions
  replaced with a disclaimer. This can be downloaded from
  http://hdcookbook.com/bdj_platform/fake_stubs_pbp_jsse.zip.

• The GEM Stubs for Packaged Media Target (GEM 1.0.3) (August 2008),
  available from http://www.mhp.org/mhpgem10.htm

• The Java TV API 1.1_01 Source RI and Documentation, available
  from http://java.sun.com/products/javatv/ .

• The Java TV API 1.1_01 Binary Reference Implementation and
  Documentation, available from http://java.sun.com/products/javatv/

• The BD-J JavaDocStubs, available from the Blu-ray Disc
  association. An application can be found at

Development in BD-J is similar to development in J2ME, however it has a different subset of APIs. Ideally, a custom JDK configuration could be created to allow the user to specify a JDK built upon this API, using the compiler from any 1.3+ JDK.

The problem with the current approach (attaching JDK 1.3 and the above libraries) is that the user sees two versions of every Personal Basis Profile class (one from PBP and one from JDK). Also, the JavaDocs come from the JDK. Thus, it is hard to tell if the incorrect APIs are being coded against until the project is compiled with Ant.

I have attempted to create a hybrid JDK 1.3 install with the rt.jar replaced with the BD-J stubs, however this results in IDEA reporting a corrupt JDK. Also, the project will not compile. The better approach would probably involve using a J2ME wireless SDK as the basis, but I don't have a lot of hope that this would work.

This sort of approach (using custom API, compiling with JDK) works easily in Eclipse. It should be simple in IDEA.

Thanks for helping a long-time, faithful customer.
