Thanks. I also tried the batch file from rcjr but when I upload the .cod file created, it states: "Unable to display file/Media Card/BlackBerry/Games/MeBoy.cod" I'll try the tip ypu gave me though, Sith_Apprentice.

[wumbo2]

Should I use the Roxio Media Manager on the DM or Windows Explorer?

[wumbo2]

Alright Sith, with your instructions, I have opened the cmp.exe. Then this appears: C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator>. Then there is a flashing cursor and I sont know what to type there since every time I write down the directory it says that it is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. I need the steps, sorry.

<description>Some Description</description>
<version>App Version</version>
<vendor>Vendor Name</vendor>
<copyright>Not needed but can be anything</copyright>
<fileset Java="1.0">
<files>
list of .cod file names that you would like to load. Each on a seperate line.
net_rim_theme_RKRW.cod

</files>
</fileset>
</application>
</loader>

when you save this file make sure you give it the .alx extension and save it to the same directory as your .cod files. Then desktop manager will recognize it and load the .cod files to your BB. It also gives you the option to remove these files at a later date also using desktop manager.

Worked like a charm!! Thanks so much.

I've been trying this all week (manually and with the .bat script) with no luck. I'm just trying to convert WLIrc and QuickIM free express version. I don't get any errors, but I get a warning stating "No definition found for exported static routine: .main(String[])"

Okay... I have an MDS Studio application that I want to upload on the BB via the USB cable...

The problem is, I tried doing it with the first method described (converted my jar to a jad and then created .cod files)
I uploaded the cod files via the application webloader... it said the installation worked but no icon showed on the ribbon
also tried to make an alx... same thing.. no icon on the ribbon

When I use the media center, I can only access "media files" (I can see audio, video and pdf files but I can't browse to select the .jar and .jad)

If i try to drag and drop de .jar and .jad, the media center dies..

any other idea?

Edit :

I noticed that when I run the rapc command, the files are created but a warning appears :
No entry point...
Maybe that's why I can't see the icon on the ribbon.. 'cause it doesn't know what to load?
Anyone knows how to declare an entry point?

Maybe this is the wrong place to post this but this whole jaD, jaR and cod/alx file thing has me confused.

I was given a link to a jad file. I downloaded it. But now what? I tried using Media Player's EXPLORE but it did not work.

Is there some way to either install a JAD file from my Desktop Computer or convert it to either a JAR file or a cod/alx combination which I can load using DesktopManager?

Thanks in advance

I sent a support request through Google, but this is a question I think that doesn't necessarily revolve around GMaps specifically.

if anyone could answer this question, it would be extremely fantastic.

Seriously, if anyone knows the answer, share your knowledge... please.

OK, I'm not really a pro at this - but a .jad file appears to be just a text header. The real meat with all the binary code is in the .jar file. Basically, a .jad file without its .jar file is useless.

Sorry.

I'm having problems converting .jad files to .alx or .cod files so I can load OTA applications through the desktop manager. Is there an easy way to do this?

Hi, I'm new to this forum... my name's Guillermo and I'm from Mexico... I need to generate the .cod file to be executed on a blackberry device... I've already copied the JAR and JAD files to the bin directory of my RIM JDE installation folder, and I executed this command on a DOS command line:

rapc import="c:\Archivos de programa\Research In Motion\BlackBerry JDE 4.5.0\lib\net_rim_api.jar" codename=Main.java -midlet jad=Revista.jad Revista.jar

And when the process finishes, it says there was NO errors, so the .cod file is suposed to be created, but it wasn't... I tried searching it with the windows search utility but it doesn't appear anywhere...

Any idea? I'll be thankful with your help...

Do a search for this program j2a pro. Its made by brandon. I got bought the full version well worth the money. Really simple to use and you can convert folders or even zip files at a time. I had over 20 000 jars to convert and try out and using the batch files can be long and frustrating. Specially when you find out that the game you jave been trying to convert isn't compatible with your berry. He always has a free version of the prog.

On a side note if you really want I can send you the batch files I had made or modified.

If there are any developers or programmers out there that know or can port games and apps I would be willing to share my full jar,sis and prc collection to work with.

I tried the above process on the Google Mail application. The application was installed on my 8320 running OS 4.5.0.81, but trying to run it, I get: "Error Starting GoogleMail: Module GoogleMail attempts to access a secure API."

How do I get around this?

Thanks!

This will allow you to load the program to your blackberry using the blackberry desktop manager instead of using loader.exe then when you run the application loader it will recognize the program and you shouldn't have to re-install it.

I´ve got the problem that the batch file -it works- can´t find the .jar file.

I entered following when asked for complete path where jar and jad files are located: I:zelda/
...jar file?zelda

Please, help!

best regards

I beat this after devoting an entire afternoon to trying to figure it out. Im a dummy. If you have the BB JDE open the JAD file up and scroll down to the adresses where the COD files are listed. If you DL those and upload them to you BB using the Java loader you save yourself from DLing all of these very useful apps.
