Fast forward :: The structure of a Completed MIDlet

Besides java files there are a minimum of 3 files required to build a MIDlet.

1. The JAR file

Anyone who has created a WebStart application or a server-side web application in Java will have come into contact with JAR files. They are essentially the same as ZIP archives and in the J2ME world they serve to compress the MIDlet as best as possible. They include the classes that constitute the MIDlet, and any resources such as images and data files used.
