J2ME? I think I have seen someone use it there, may need to grab a 
branch and remove dependence on things
like JAI for raster support. Out of the box no, anything important that 
J2SE specific - advanced raster support.

The hard part of routing is data, and data collection. GeoTools does 
contain an excellent graph package that supports
some routing algorithms. But for a real system you need to know a lot of 
details about say the roads being navigated, what
way you can turn at intersections what direction the roads are in 
etc...  If you have that information you can easily feed it
into the GraphBuilder and perform queries etc...

ext/graph, the tutorial is okay, and the module has the highest test 
coverage (a measure of quality) in the library.
