Developer Accounts A definition of corporations or individuals that submit content to the Catalog Manager. Developer Accounts are associated with one or more Developer Plans.

Developer Plans A definition of the set of APIs that developers can use in applications that they submit. A Profile defines the classes in a specific library that developers can use. A Developer Plan contains one or more Profiles.

Device A mobile device model supported by the Catalog Manager. Descriptor Template See Content Descriptor Template.

Edition Alternate versions of an application, picture, or ring tone that run on devices with different capabilities.

Fulfillment Manager The Fulfillment Manager provides a dedicated, high-performance, scalable

General Pricing Rule Initial currency and initial price equivalents as set in the configuration properties file by the System Administrator. At deployment time, the system administrator can set the purchase prices (monetary values) in the Vending Manager. After deployment, the Vending Manager administrator can change the purchase prices as needed.

JAD File A Java Application Descriptor (JAD) file describes a MIDlet and its associated JAR File.

JAR File A Java ARchive (JAR) file contains the class, image, and sound files for a MIDlet gathered into a single file and compressed for faster downloading to your device. By putting the MIDlet components in a single file and compressing that file, download time is saved.
