Re: Siemens S55 hurdles

1. The Preverifier is probably the same, but there is a difference between
the MIDP classes for each device. Just to be on the safe side, I always use
the preferivier and the MIDP classes provided by the phone vendor. 

2. There are some acceptable changes between the MANIFEST and the JAD, but
most of the entries must be the same, down to the present (or absent) of a
space at the end of the line. Here are the rules I follow:

        1.      There should be an empty line at the end of the file
        2.      There should be no more than one consecutive space between
two words.
        3.      Manifest-Version: 1.0 must be the first line
        4.      All properties must be identical to the properties found in
the .JAD file, the only exceptions are:
                a.      Manifest-Version: 1.0 - not present in the .JAD file
                b.      MIDlet-JAR-URL, MIDlet-Size - not present in the
MANIFEST.MF file
        5.      In some devices there is a problem if the JAR size is a
round number in the hundreds (for example 31200b). If this is the case, add
a dummy file to change the size.

Hi Adi,

No, I used Sun's WMTK... is there any difference
with Siemens'?

No, they're not the same...in fact, there're some
fields not present in the JAD ("Created-By",
"Manifest-
Version", to name a few). Could you tell me more
about this restriction? (if there were any)

Yes, thanks. I already realized that.

Ouch! Fortunately, I don't do such a thing...
 
The other possibility is upgrading the firmware, as
Stefan mentioned... don't know (I don't have the
phone at hand now, so I'll have to wait for a couple
of days to test this)

Thanks to all for your help. If I get it working, 
I'll let you know what I did.

Regards,
David.-
