Downloading a MIDlet (Java™ game or application)
MIDlets are easily downloaded in the mobile phone through the Games or Applications menus or through the
WAP browser.
In almost all cases, you will first receive a JAD file which will be displayed on the screen.
Much care must be given in examining the content of the file as explained further.
When you select a JAD file, your mobile phone downloads it, displays data contained and prompts you to
acknowledge the JAR file download.
The popup displays information below:
• Name of the MIDlet
• Version
• Size (JAR file size)
• Vendor name
• Security status (IMPORTANT: see "Security considerations" paragraph below)
• JAR file URL.
If you do not want to download the main data (JAR file), you shall refuse to acknowledge further airtime
consumption by selecting "Cancel" (JAR file is not downloaded).
If you agree on the MIDlet installation, just select "Ok". The MIDlet is installed with security levels set to default
values associated with its security status.
Before downloading an application, such a message may appear: "Your handset cannot identify the application,
please be sure of the source of the application before installing the application".
You shall read carefully the next two paragraphs to fully understand Java™ MIDP security concerns.
