Motorola promotes a better mobile Java
Motorola is a strong promoter of Java ME, so the step to provide its testing framework and test cases is logical.
Promoting MIDP 3 is also logical, due to the limitations in MIDP 2. You can find more information about it here: JSR 271: Mobile Information Device Profile 3. See under 2.1 for proposed enhancements. No details though. I hope/expect features from Java SE will be re-used whenever possible, to get a smooth upgrade path to Java SE. MIDP 3 can be used over either CLDC or CDC.
It will take a long time before application developers can abandon MIDP 2 though, due to the huge volume of phones with MIDP 2.
