Jar without a jad

[LRa]

I got a program and I want to install it on my 7210 but the problem is that I only got the .jar file and not the .jad file so I can't install it with nokia pc suite 5...
Is there a way to do it ?
Thanks

Use something like Oxygen Phone Manager, it even lets you select where it goes properly

Thanks, but it still looks for a jad

Create your own .jad file in notepad.
eg:You'd create

MIDlet-1: Bowling, , org.spruce.midp.bowling.Bowling
MIDlet-Jar-Size: 24920
MIDlet-Jar-URL: Bowling.jar
MIDlet-Name: Bowling
MIDlet-Vendor: Spruce Technologies
MIDlet-Version: 1.11

from

Manifest-Version: 1.0
MIDlet-Name: Bowling
MIDlet-1: Bowling, , org.spruce.midp.bowling.Bowling
MIDlet-Version: 1.11
Created-By: 1.3.1 (Sun Microsystems Inc.)
MIDlet-Vendor: Spruce Technologies
MicroEdition-Configuration: CLDC-1.0
MicroEdition-Profile: MIDP-1.0

which is found in the .jar,in the MANIFEST.MF folder which is in the
META-INF folder.
Just used this as an example.Hope u suss it.

I did create but it didn't work.

Send me the .jar & i'll see what i can do with it.

Don't bother creating your own, use the attached JAD generating tool. You can even place a shortcut to the program (or the program itself) on say your desktop then drag and drop the JAR file onto it. It will create the JAD file in the same directory as the JAR file.

Enjoy!

Thanks, that's great.

[LRa]

Nothing, it's only a info file, the program is jar.

i've made a jad file from that jadgen thing.. i can't run it either.. U ARE NOT ALONE BUDDY!! however there is a valid icon for it in my game menu which suggest it's in a language that my 7250 understands.. other than that... i know nothing

[XMeTaL]

Problem with the .jar file methinks.

[XMeTaL]

Don't know where u got the .jar file from but i can't see anyone getting anywhere without the corresponding .jad file.Summat to do with registration?I don't know,just guessing.
