JAD Attributes 

JAD / Manifest Attribute Implementations 

 

The JAR manifest defines attributes to be used by the application management software 
(AMS) to identify and install the MIDlet suite. These attributes may or may not be found in 
the application descriptor.  
The application descriptor is used, in conjunction with the JAR manifest, by the application 
management software to manage the MIDlet. The application descriptor is also used for 
the following: 

•  By the MIDlet for configuration specific attributes 
•  Allows the application management software on the handset to verify the MIDlet 

is suited to the handset before loading the JAR file 

•  Allows configuration-specific attributes (parameters) to be supplied to the 

MIDlet(s) without modifying the JAR file. 

 

Motorola has implemented the following support for the MIDP 2.0 Java Application 
Descriptor attributes as outlined in the JSR-118. The Table 5 ists all MIDlet attributes, 
descriptions, and its location in the JAD and/or JAR manifest that are supported in the 
Motorola implementation.
