J2ME - question about properties files

[mchmiel]

I am wondering if there is any kind of mechanism for creating
properties files i need this for my midlet to create diffrent language
versions of my game. Any hints how to do that i was trying to do it
with RMS but it is rather useless.

Thanx

No, there's no support for properties files. And, to save you the headache
down the road, you should *not* use the JAD file for localization: some
carriers have limitations on the size of hte JAD file, usually about 1k is
the limit. On my current project, we had put all of our translated text
into the JAD and then got burned on several devices and at least one
carrier (Cingular). We had to retrofit the product to use a web service for
text retrieval and RMS to store the data instead.
