So, I wrote this code for some particle effects:

package com.coolfone.particles;

import java.util.Iterator;
import java.util.Vector;

import javax.microedition.khronos.opengles.GL10;

public class FireManager {
static Vector<Particle> particles = new Vector<Particle>();

Why use 'Vector', then? Isn't 'ArrayList' available in that environment?

I believe ArrayList is available for ME CDC but not for ME CLDC.

But Iterator is also only available for CDC, so ArrayList
should be there.

I doubt that the synchronization inherent in 'Vector' will tie up too much time, but there's no noeed for it, is there? Aren't other 'List' implementations available? In the desktop world 'Vector' has been obsolete since 1998.

1998!

Since Java 1.2!

Thirteen years! That's 91 years in software years ("dog years").

For ME it is not so much a matter of years but of profile/config.
