I only have .jar files. How the heck do I get it on my BB??

God this is so frustrating, I'll paypal someone 5 bucks CDN and the app (really good app) if they can convert it or whatever for me.

I tried this DOS way and that other .bat way and neither works....probably cuz I only have the .jar file.

Someone please let me know how to do this. PIN me at 20393A34

Thx

.jar files are for over the air installations just direct your browser to where you got it from and install it that way and you will save yourself the five bucks. If you cannot do that look in the search for a .jar to .cod convertion and you will find directions to do it yourself.

I tried that and it just shows up as text (scrambled characters) on my bb.

Also, I've looked through the jar/jad conversion threads and am unable to do this without a .jad file to accompany the .jar

Somebody plz help me.

I'll give you 10 bucks so that I can get this program working on my berry.

Thanks

you need the jad file. what is the app anyway?

MIDPSSH .jad file:

MIDlet-Jar-URL: http://www.xk72.com/midpssh/midpssh-full.jar
MIDlet-Jar-Size: 114174
MIDlet-Name: MidpSSH
MIDlet-Vendor: XK72
MIDlet-Version: 1.4.6
MIDlet-1: MidpSSH, /small.png, app.Main
MIDlet-Permissions: javax.microedition.io.Connector.socket

why not try and emulate this? the only issue is the midlet permissions...

Try this, JADMAKER:

Just a quick note to anyone reading this thread and wondering about MIDP 2, it is now supported on version 4 of the software provided your device has more than 12MB of flash memory. From BB technical support:

Note: BlackBerry Device Software 4.0 for 8 or 12 MB devices does not support the MIDP 2.0 or CLDC 1.1 specifications; however, MIDP 1.0 and CLDC 1.0 are still supported on these devices. Applications compiled in BlackBerry JDE 4.0 might throw a java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError exception on startup on 8 or 12 MB devices running version 4.0.

In the original notes of the FAQ, only MIDP 1 is mentioned.

cheers!
brace! brace!

Great find, thanks for listing it.

anyone have any more midlet sites?

Yeah, search google my man.

rapc import="c:\Program Files\Research in Motion\Blackberry JDE 4.0\bin\net_rim_api.jar" codename=jmIrc -midlet jad=jmIrc-0.92.jar can just be doen as rapc import="c:\Program Files\Research in Motion\Blackberry JDE 4.0\bin\net_rim_api.jar" codename=jmIrc -midlet jmIrc-0.92.jar you do not need to use a jad to make a cod when it is done it will actually reprodice a jad for you and a new jar if you rename it

Or this is my fav upload anything u want to your phone upload a jar file and it sends you a download link and creates a jar for you. thephonemall.net/uploader/index.php Phone Uploader Also if you use a product like soonr u can download jar files directly to your BB

j2me-software.com

hi,
Canany one please tell me that j2me application(code) run on blackberry simulator if yes what will be the procedure.
i am a beginner in blackberrry

I was just about to post the same...

Wow this is an old thread, have you read this instructions on the previous pages.

If you have BES 3.6 or higher running, you can download JAR/JAD midlets directly from your blackberry browser, as the BES does the conversion to COD for you automatically. However, you can still do this procedure if you really need to..

What technical requirements do I need to perform this task:

a) You need to be comfortable using DOS
b) You need to download and install the Blackberry JDE (free from the rim developer website)
c) You need to download and install the Sun Java SDK 1.4 or higher.
d) You do NOT need to know how to use the Blackberry JDE, you merely need some of the DOS apps that come with it.

Here's how to convert and upload midlets (JAR/JAD) files to your Blackberry. This is not for the faint of heart, but any person with reasonable technical computer skills can do it:

a) Download and install the RIM Java Development Environment.
from BlackBerry - BlackBerry Developer Program | Support, Simulator & MDS Downloads, Knowledge Base & Community

This software requires the sun Java SDK, so

b) Download and install the Sun Java SDK.
Download Java 2 Platform, Standard Edition, v 1.4.2 (J2SE)
MAKE SURE YOU GET THE SDK! *NOT* THE JRE!

Once both are installed, download the midlets you wish to put on your blackberry. Midlets are BOTH a .jar and .JAD file.

c) For ease of use, move the JAD and JAR files for each midlet you want to convert to the BIN directory in the RIM Java Development Environment directory on your hard drive, for example:
c:\program files\Research in Motion\Blackberry JDE 3.7\bin\

Using RAPC.exe in DOS, convert the midlet to a COD as follows, all on one line (might be easier to make a .bat file out of this)
d) rapc import="c:\Program Files\Research in Motion\Blackberry JDE 3.7\lib\net_rim_api.jar" codename=virca -midlet jad=Virca.jad Virca.jar

Subsitute a different codename, jad and jar filename for whatever application you wish to convert. If successful, it will say no errors and you will have a COD file. The import= is a REQUIRED step.

Using javaloader.exe from a DOS prompt to upload the newly created COD file to your blackberry (in my case a USB blackberry)
e) javaloader -usb load filename.cod

And that's it! An icon will appear in your ribbon. Give it a try and see if it works. Not everything will work, but most do. Mileage wil vary..

Caveats:

a) If you use the application loader at a future date, the loader WILL remove your midlets as they are not known by it. You will probably have to re-upload them again in this case.
b) Make sure you have enough free space to upload the applications..
c) If something goes wrong, Be sure you are familar with the RAPC or Javaloader.exe documentation. If not sure, use google to help you.
d) If you can, Test your Blackberry JDE on a sample application. Compile, and run a sample app in the simulator to ensure that your JDE functions correctly.

The instructions work but I find most midlets run very slow in my blackberry or there are to many issues to make it worth using. But don't let this stop you there are some that work great, the problem nobody bothered to make a list of the applications that work on the blackberry.
