The structure of a Completed MIDlet: The JAD file

The JAD file

A JAD file is a lightweight proprties file in the which is offered to the target device prior to commiting to the full JAR download. It informs the device of the size of the MIDlet and any expectations and requirements it has of the device.
As the JAR files size must be mentioned and since it always changes during development it is advised to use JammedUp to automate this process with each build.
