Description

The JAD and manifest file attribute for MIDlet suite ('MIDlet-Icon') does not have an effect. Only the default icon is shown in the menu.

Solution

The MIDlet icon is shown in the device's menu only if the icon for MIDlet ('MIDlet-1') has been defined. Thus, if the JAD and manifest files contain the following row, the icon is shown in the menu.

MIDlet-1: TestMIDlet, /icon.png, TestMIDlet
