Benefits of Project Capuchin
Project Capuchin allows developers to combine the richness of both Java ME and Flash Lite by encapsulating Flash Lite content in Java ME applications making content created by Adobe Flash technology appear as Java ME applications. Project Capuchin empowers these two distinct developer communities to leverage their respective expertise to quickly and securely create highly engaging mobile content.

Benefits for Java ME developers:
- New ways of building application UI using proven technology
- Clear separation of the presentation and service layer
- Efficient designer oriented tools allowing designers define the UI

Benefits for Flash Lite developers:
- Extend current limited set of APIs with the use of Java JSRs
- Secure Flash Lite applications through existing Java security mechanisms
- Distribute Flash Lite content using existing Java distribution infrastructure
- Deploy Flash in the same manner as Java ME games and applications
