Java ME Launcher

I was curious...is there any plans (or does one exist) for a launcher for Java ME applications which is common on each ME platform?

As I am only familiar with the IBM's J9 launcher I am unsure of how things are handled on other platforms.

A launcher is part of the application management system (AMS) which is specific to each platform because of the way it integrates into the rest of the system and the way applications are installed and run. So unfortunately there is no common UI for that. However, MIDP 3.0 tightens the spec in a couple of places in that regard to make the behavior more predictable for developers.
