Midlet distribution as .prc in NetBeans

[Kenneth P. Turvey]

I'm learning about midlet development and use NetBeans as my
development platform. I can successfully build a midlet based on
the CLDC 1.1, and MIDP 2.0 specifications and can deploy it and run it
on my Treo 600. Unfortunately I can't seem to find a way to make a
..prc file from the .jar and .jad files for normal palm deployment (not
over the air). Is there a way to tell NetBeans to build the .prc
file? Is there a tool outside NetBeans that I can use to do this?

Thanks.

Hi,

In the previous versin of J2ME (MIDP 1.0, CLDC 1.0), the Wireless
Toolkit had a tool to generate .prc and .pdb files. But since it was not
really in the Java way of thinking (plateform independant), and
constructors started to include their own JVM in their devices, Sun
removed this prc maker tool. I think it was still possible to generate
it through personal profile "something". I have never triied, and never
saw it. So don't take it for a sure thing, and I don't have much details
about that. Now most PDA/smart phones include a JVM, I doubt there will
be tools in wtk. You can still try the J2ME 1.4_01 which include it, and
is still availbale from Sun website. But be aware MIDP 2.0
functionalities are not there, only MIDP 1.0
