In an attempt to upload my Jabaco compiled application into my Blackberry mobile, I ran into converting the Jar file to .cod (blackberry format) and after preparing the environment for possible compilation I used the Blackberry JDE (as documented) by issuing the command:
C:\Program Files\Research In Motion\BlackBerry JDE 4.2.0\bin\rapc" import="C:\Program Files\Research In Motion\BlackBerry JDE 4.2.0\lib\net_rim_api.jar" codename=Test.jar -midlet jad=Test.jad Test.cod

where
Test.jar is a simple jabaco app that display Hello in a msgbox
Test.jad:
Manifest-Version: 1.0
Created-By: 1.4.2 Jabaco Compiler
Main-Class: Module1
MIDlet-Jar-Size: 550726
MIDlet-Jar-URL: Test.jar
Nokia-MIDlet-Category: Game

I got the following error:
Error!907: Application missing required attribute: MicroEdition-Profile

Some forums advised that this error due to "missing manifest.mf" but I checked it by extraction "jar xvf Test.jar" and it is there.

Any help please??

I fixed the previous error by editing the META file, the intention was to port Jabaco jars to mobile platform specifically Blackberry. I found that Jabaco implements classes that are not compatible with the mobile platform.

I was trying to take Jabaco over to the hot market of developing wireless applications

Anyway, still I have question and believe there should be work around to play with the default classes like the ones in VB & VBA which are not understandable by j2me, also preserving the VB like syntax to develop complete mobile application and that will open a new arena...ok here is my suggestions and doubts:
- How to take out VB/ & VBA/ classes from my application so as to make near compatible mobile apps??
I know the VB like syntax is dependent on these classes but I am trying to find a way to crack these classes and implement new compatible ones??
- Can Jabaco get free of the rt.jar and go for other jars which might have the same or similar functions...mobile j2me API ex.net_rim_api.jar
- Make some development on making Jabaco more Java oriented than VB side (although I am VB guy) meaning to say working on Java side to enter j2me & MIDlet platform?

I love this Jabaco and would like it to go over for new business oriented domain and enrich the HOT application market.

Good Luck,

Ashraf
