The Abstract Window Toolkit (AWT) is Java's original platform-dependent windowing, graphics, and user-interface widget toolkit, preceding Swing.
See Java TV and Abstract Window Toolkit
BD-J
BD-J, or Blu-ray Disc Java, is a specification supporting Java ME (specifically the Personal Basis Profile of the Connected Device Configuration or CDC) Xlets for advanced content on Blu-ray Disc and the Packaged Media profile of Globally Executable MHP (GEM). Java TV and BD-J are Interactive television.

Connected Device Configuration
The Connected Device Configuration (CDC) is a specification of a framework for Java ME applications describing the basic set of libraries and virtual-machine features that must be present in an implementation. Java TV and Connected Device Configuration are Java device platform.
See Java TV and Connected Device Configuration
Interactive television
Interactive television is a form of media convergence, adding data services to traditional television technology.

Java (software platform)
Java is a set of computer software and specifications that provides a software platform for developing application software and deploying it in a cross-platform computing environment.
See Java TV and Java (software platform)
The Java Media Framework (JMF) is a Java library that enables audio, video and other time-based media to be added to Java applications and applets.
See Java TV and Java Media Framework
Java Platform, Micro Edition
Java Platform, Micro Edition or Java ME is a computing platform for development and deployment of portable code for embedded and mobile devices (micro-controllers, sensors, gateways, mobile phones, personal digital assistants, TV set-top boxes, printers). Java TV and Java Platform, Micro Edition are Java device platform.
See Java TV and Java Platform, Micro Edition
Mobile Information Device Profile
Mobile Information Device Profile (MIDP) is a specification published for the use of Java on embedded devices such as mobile phones and PDAs. Java TV and mobile Information Device Profile are Java device platform.

Set-top box
A set-top box (STB), also known as a cable box, receiver, or simply box, and historically television decoder or a converter, is an information appliance device that generally contains a TV tuner input and displays output to a television set, turning the source signal into content in a form that can then be displayed on the television screen or other display device.
Software framework
In computer programming, a software framework is an abstraction in which software, providing generic functionality, can be selectively changed by additional user-written code, thus providing application-specific software.
See Java TV and Software framework
URL
A uniform resource locator (URL), colloquially known as an address on the Web, is a reference to a resource that specifies its location on a computer network and a mechanism for retrieving it.
See Java TV and URL
Xlet
An Xlet is very similar to a Java applet and is originally introduced in Sun Microsystems's Java TV specification to support applications for Digital TV. Java TV and Xlet are Interactive television and Java device platform.
