Running .jar in J2ME emulator
Hello:
I have some .jar files that someone has sent me to simply run them and see how the J2ME applications work in order to estimate a cost for conversion.
I have downloaded the java j2me platform sdk 3.0 thinking I can simply "import" the .jar files
and I could run them.
Not that simple....or am I missing something. I see no import function. I tried to create a project, but the furthest I got was creation of an empty .jar/.jad file created from the unpacked .jar I was sent.
Can anyone help? This has to be simple without requiring any IDE as I just want to run the darn things for now.
Attached is a typical directory structure of one of the .jar files, each representing a game. Hopefully, this helps.
Thanks,
Dan

Do you get an error message when trying to create a project from jar? It should come back with something. I'm not running up to date (2.5 not 3.0) but when I create a project from a jar it tells me "project created." With 2.5 (and I assume 3.0) some projects had to be run "Over The Air" -if it used networking technology (which some games do.) To do that you select from the menu >Project > run via OTA. But, I don't think that's your problem because the j2me platform gives an error and tells you to run OTA if you try running without going OTA.
