How to check the Java release version
The Java version number can be queried by using standard System.getProperty() method as shown below:
System.getProperty("microedition.platform");
The result string is something like this:
Nokia5800d-1/20.0.012/sw_platform=S60;sw_platform_version=5.0;java_build_version=1.3.4
In the string java_build_version indicates the Java release version, in this case 1.3.4.
