Hi Narayan,

No as devices very a lot from one model, manufacture to another. Even if you use compliant devices (JTWI, MSA, MIDP, CLDC, etc) as the java specifications are just docs and they have some gaps, one implementation might behave differently in some cases.

My tip is to consider the possible target devices for your app.

Yes, as Juarez said there is no common emulator for all the Mobile phones available in market. Even there are difference in different platform phones available with in Nokia or Sony Ericsson. The API support varies upon different phones and there might be some device specific bugs on different phones.
If you are using High level UI(Forms, List) the command mappings vary upon different devices and if you use low level UI(Canvas), you have to keep in mind that the screen size of devices are different.
If still you are looking for a basic Java ME emulator, the closest match would be Sun WTK.

I agree with your sentenses, i have gone through the website www.getjar.com it contains some generic jar and jad files. these files support for some mobile phones. so how to create a one jar file so that i can install in some generic phones.

IMHO, to run an app on as many as devices as possible, make it compatible to MIDP 1.0, CLDC 1.0 But its not assured that it will run on all devices. Heap memory of different devices should also be considered.
