This chapter explains how to compile and run a Java application without a Java IDE.

A JAR file must be created by compiling an SMTK project. A JAR file will contain the class files and auxiliary resources associated with an application. A JAD file contains information (file name, size, version, etc.) on the actual content of the associated JAR file. It must be written by the user. The JAR file has the “.jar” extension and the JAD file has the “.jad” extension. A JAD file is always required no matter whether the module is provisioned with the Module Exchange Suite, as described in Section 7.1, or with OTA provisioning. OTA provisioning is described in Chapter 7.

In addition to class and resource files, a JAR file contains a manifest file, which describes the contents of the JAR. The manifest has the name manifest.mf and is automatically stored in the JAR file itself. An IMP manifest file for:

package example.mytest;

public class MyTest extends MIDlet

includes at least:

Manifest-Version: 1.0

MIDlet-Name: MyTest

MIDlet-Version: 1.0.1

MIDlet-Vendor: Siemens

MIDlet-1: MyTest, example.mytest.MyTest

MicroEdition-Profile: IMP-NG

MicroEdition-Configuration: CLDC-1.1

A JAD file must be written by the developer and must include at least:

MIDlet-Name: MyTest

MIDlet-Version: 1.0.1

MIDlet-Vendor: Siemens

MIDlet-1: MyTest, example.mytest.MyTest

MIDlet-Jar-URL: http://192.168.1.3/datafiles/MyTest.jar

MIDlet-Jar-Size: 1408

MicroEdition-Profile: IMP-NG

MicroEdition-Configuration: CLDC-1.1

A detailed description of these attributes can be found in [4].
