Hi!

I can see you have a nice collection to start with there, so you might
want to extend it with the following material:

There is a Java Developer's Library within our Web Developer's Library.

You can find it behind this link:

[URL="http://www.forum.nokia.com/info/sw.nokia.com/id/fd9cc12e-5eed-40ec-a439-c77f845fed73/Web_Developers_Library.html"]http://www.forum.nokia.com/info/sw.nokia.com/id/fd9cc12e-5eed-40ec-a439-c77f845fed73/Web_Developers_Library.html[/URL]

It can be either downloaded or viewed online.

It's a good place to start with Midlet development on Nokia devices,
containing both Eclipse and NetBeans IDE's.

For especially the NetBeans environment, there is an excellent wiki
article that will give an overview of the features of NetBeans for
creating mobile Java™ applications and also provides a simple
introduction to creating a mobile Java application.

Link to the article is here:

[URL="http://wiki.forum.nokia.com/index.php/NetBeans"]http://wiki.forum.nokia.com/index.php/NetBeans[/URL]

I also suggest the NetBeans website tutorials and documentation provided
here:

[URL="http://netbeans.org/kb/trails/mobility.htm"]http://netbeans.org/kb/trails/mobility.htm[/URL]

What comes to the JAD file, it is automatically created with the project.
You can find it in the project file directory.

Example:

C:\USERS\NetBeansProjects\mymidlet\dist

There would be the following files:
\lib (subdir)

mymidlet.jad
mymidlet.jar

Example contents for mymidlet.jad:

MIDlet-1: Midlet, , Midlet
MIDlet-Jar-Size: 4239
MIDlet-Jar-URL: mymidlet.jar
MIDlet-Name: mymidlet
MIDlet-Vendor: Vendor
MIDlet-Version: 1.0
MicroEdition-Configuration: CLDC-1.1
MicroEdition-Profile: MIDP-2.0

This file is editable by any text editor.

The Flow Designer part of the NetBeans IDE is a graphical, high-level representation
of the application's flow - the relationships between the different screens in the MIDlet,
including the state transitions that start and stop the MIDlet. The NetBeans IDE generates
most of the code for you, so it's a very simple and convenient way to develop the
application's user interface.

This and more should be explained in more detail behind the linked material, as it is not
simply possible to go thru it in just one post...

Please let me know if you need help in creating your application. You can also contact
me via private messaging or send me and e-mail to [EMAIL="marko.lumivuori@nokia.com"]marko.lumivuori@nokia.com[/EMAIL]


Hope this helps!

Best Regards,
