JADMaker.exe JADMaker.exe.config JADMaker.txt Ionic.Zip.Reduced.dll What JADMaker creates a JAD file for your .JAR Java Games, so that you can install th em to your mobile phone. Features: - simple DRAG and DROP operations! - allows batch processing of JAR files - enabling Explorer Context-Menu extension allows you to generate a JAD file qui ckly - keep the program 'Always on Top' of all other windows (Useful) - keep your program settings (in Windows Registry) Why Interest in Java Games for Nokia mobile phones. Some of the Java Games for Nokia mobile phones does not comes with a .jad file, so I searched the net for a JAD generator. Came across a lousy program called 'JADgen', so I decided to make one that is be tter then it. How to use this program? There are 3 ways. 1) Run JADMaker. Drag and drop a JAR file onto the window. JAD generated. That's it! 2) Drag and drop a JAR file onto the JADMaker.exe icon in a Windows Explorer win dow. This means you can also create a desktop shortcut to JADMaker.exe, and then drop JAR file(s) onto the shortcut. 3) Once the "Make JAD" Explorer Context-Menu extension is enabled (by checking i t in the program), you can right click on any JAR file(s) for a quick "Make JAD".

Remember that you can process multiple JAR files at one time (=batch procesing). Just select multiple files, and use any of the ways above (this is really the ic ing on the cake!). With so many ways to get your JAD file, you are spoilt for choice!!! Installation No special installation is required on Windows. JADMaker can be put in any folder (together with other required files). You may make a shortcut to it on your Desktop. Troubleshooting .NET Framework 2.0 or higher version runtime is required in your system The 2.0 Redistributable Package can be downloaded for free from http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=0856eacb-4362-4b0d-8edd -aab15c5e04f5&DisplayLang=en (22 MB) * When I try to run JADMaker, it dies with the following error: META-INF/MANIFEST.MF not found in ... My program checks for "META-INF/MANIFEST.MF" in your .JAR file. Pls check manually that you have a valid.JAR file. There is a chance that your .JAR (rename its extension to check so) is actually a .ZIP file, that contains 2 files (a .JAR and JAD file). * No matter how many times I check or uncheck the "Enable Explorer Context-Menu extension", it won't work for me. Use either WinZip/WinRAR/7-Zip/etc to link file-association with .JAR files. Then proceed to open JADMaker. Uncheck and check enable explorer context-menu ex t. * My .jar file has a "MANIFEST.MF" but it is still unable to convert. Most games has MANIFEST.MF in this path: META-INF\MANIFEST.MF and my program only looks for MANIFEST.MF in this path.
