Hello Mike,

You are indeed observant. Java ME is quite different to Java SE.

You can learn more about ME here:

http://www.oracle.com/us/technologies/java/embedded/micro-edition/overview/index.html

or you can watch a video:

What you need to download onto your Pi can be found here (select the package for "Model B"):

The getting started guide is here:

http://docs.oracle.com/javame/8.0/get-started-rpi/toc.htm

If there is nothing on TV this evening, there is also a video here about getting started and how it all fits togther:

As for powering your Pi, I will bring a few outlet (240v AC) to USB adaptors. These typically work well powering raspberry pi's. However I'm conscious there will be a few people there with a number of Pi's so I'm not sure we will have enough for everyone. Make sure you get in early and we'll check you have everything you need to get started.

Regards,

Tim.
