[Isolate-interest] deafening silence about refactored APIs

Yes and no.  There may not be language support for enums in
CDC or CLDC, but there are plenty of ways of rolling your own.

Are you saying that CDC or CLDC are so constrained that adding
an extra class for type-safety would cost too much in terms
of resources?  As primarily a J2SE developer, I hope not.

Perhaps.  When there are tests that nobody can get a pure-Java
implementation to pass, then that will be more of a fact.
