hello every body,
i've wrote a little game using the J2ME toolkit, it's working with emulators, now i'de like to make it available for download, how can i do that?
i have been on the midlet.org web site, i know that by downloading the .jad file you can start the application.., but i need more details!
can any one help me please?
thanks in advance
Hi
u could download midp1.0.3 and refer to more info.
MIDlet Installation on a Web Server
Place the descriptor file, the Jar file, and the OTA listing in a web server visible directory. This will allow your application to be downloadable over the network.
The web server must be configured to deliver a specific MIME type for the descriptor and jar files.
If using Apache, add the following two lines to the httpd.conf file:
AddType text/vnd.sun.j2me.app-descriptor.jad
AddType application/java-archive .jar
Running the MIDlet from the command line
The following command demonstrates how to invoke the midp executable with a remote URL. The -transient argument causes the descriptor file to be fetched and the Jar file referenced in the descriptor file to be temporarily installed and started. When the application is destroyed, the temporarily installed application is removed. bin/midp -transient http://<host>/<path>/hello.jad
Installing and running the MIDlet using the GUI
The following demonstrates how to invoke the midp executable to emulate how a user will provision and run an application over the air and run it. The presence of no arguments causes the graphical application manager to be displayed. The graphical manager can install, list, launch, update, and remove applications. bin/midp
When the MIDP RI GUI pops up:
Choose Install.
Enter the URL of the hello.html and choose Go.
Select "Hello World" from the list and choose Install.
When the list of suites is showing select "HelloWorld" from the list and choose Launch.

more details.
jad only starts the programm, you would need to make a jar file of your game or for siemens mobile phones a bin file. take a look ate the .bat files in the bin directory of the demo programs.
if i may give you an advice (if you didnt do so already) give first your game to someone you know to test or send it to some beta testers, since the emulators are ok but not perfekt. the performance is one thing on the pc and on the phone, even if you use the perfmormance emulator.
tell me the name of your game
