purposes, as well as for communication with the user.

Microedition

Configuration

The J2ME Configuration required by this MIDlet suite, using the same format

compatibility, this field must be CLDC-1.0. In the future, this field will be used

to specify the required CLDC version.

Microedition

the user invokes the suite, the J2ME device will

typically prompt the user for the specific MIDlet to be executed. This

entry provides the name that will be shown to the

user.

Icon Path to the PNG file within the JAR file that contains the icon for this

MIDlet.

Class The MIDlet class itself. This is the class you created derived from
