Java™

What is Java™?

Java™ is a new technology enabling use of powerful applications in the mobile phone area. Business applications and games are easily downloadable by the end-user on a Java™ featured handset.

Your mobile phone is a MIDP 2.0 compliant Java™ platform which implements WMA (SMS support) and MMAPI (Multimedia support) options, providing an exciting environment to run highly graphical, networked and intuitive MIDP applications.

Such applications may be, for example, a wide range of games and appealing applications like action and logic games, agenda, e-Mail reader, Web browser…

What is a MIDlet?

A Java™ application or a game designed to run in a mobile phone is named a MIDlet (MIDP applet).

A MIDlet is usually made of 2 files: •The JAD file

The JAR file

JAD file stands for Java™ Application Descriptor. It is a small file describing the content of a JAR file (version, vendor name, size…) and displayed by the mobile phone. JAD file size is usually less than 2 kilo-bytes large.

JAR file stands for Java™ Archive. It refers to the application data themselves (program, images, sound). A JAR file may be up to 200 kilo-bytes large.

NOTE: In rare circumstances, MIDlet vendors may provide no JAD file and the MIDlet is the JAR file alone. In such a case it is your only responsibility to evaluate the risk to download the JAR file without possibility of consulting the JAD file.

Downloading a MIDlet (Java™ game or application)

MIDlets are easily downloaded in the mobile phone through the Games or Applications menus or through the WAP browser.

In almost all cases, you will first receive a JAD file which will be displayed on the screen. Much care must be given in examining the content of the file as explained further.

When you select a JAD file, your mobile phone downloads it, displays data contained and prompts you to acknowledge the JAR file download.

The popup displays information below:
