MIDPath is a Java library which provides a MIDP2 implementation on top of various graphical libraries (SDL, AWT, SWT, X11, GTK, Qt3/Qt4/Qtopia4, Linux framebuffer) and audio libraries (SDL, ALSA, ESounD, PulseAudio).

MIDPath works with free J2SE environments: JVMs working with GNU Classpath(Cacao, Kaffe,JamVM), OpenJDK. It also works with the J2ME/CLDC version of the Cacao VM and so can be used as an alternative to phoneME.

MIDPath is released under GPL. The Java code is based on phoneME, a free implementation of MIDP2 from Sun.
