If you have MIDP application’s jar file and jad file, they can be converted to BlackBerry installable file (.cod).

• Install appropriate JDE from http://java.sun.com/.
• Install BlackBerry JDE Component Package from BlackBerry Java Development Environment page.
• Setup PATH environment to ‘bin’ sub-directory of JDE installation folder.

Run following command on Windows command prompt to create ‘cod’ file.

rapc import=%JDE%\lib\net_rim_api.jar codename=midp_appli -midlet jad=midp_appli.jad midp_appli.jar

Please replace %JDE% with JDE installation folder or move net_rim_api.jar to current folder.

You also need to create ‘alx’ file. Sample alx file contents as follow.

<loader version="1.0">
<application id="midp_appli">
