Hey,
Was wondering if any one could help i keep getting the error:
" Can not load descriptor " on my SL45(v56) when i try and get java
midlets other than the default ones in the mmc content to load. I have
tried the mmc card in a genuine SL45i and i get the same error. I have
both the Par and Jar files in the same folder for the applications and have
these in the Jam folder...... totally cant work out whats wrong ?
Any Help would be gratefully recived. Cheers Alex
 
???
You have both "Par and Jar files" ???
What's a Par file?

You should have a jad (=java descriptor) and a jar file.
That's probably the problem
 
Ophise my typo it is a jad file. Still totally confused as to why its not working!!!! I downloaded the files in os x then wrote them to the mmc in windows would this make any difference ? Cheers Again
 
...
Try opening the jad file with a text-edit program (don't use notepad - try ultraedit or crimson editor or even Windows wordpad will do).
It should be a readable file that goes something like this:
MIDlet-Version: {VERSIoN OR MIDLET}
MIDlet-Vendor: {AUTHOR OF MIDLET}
MIDlet-Name: {NAME OF MIDLET}
MIDlet-Jar-URL: {SOME KIND OF URL WHERE THE JAR CAN BE FOUND}
MIDlet-Jar-Size: {FILESIZE OF JAR FILE}
MIDlet-1: {NAME OF .CLASS FILES THAT EXIST IN THE JAR FILE}

What I'm guessing is that your jad file is empty (broken download)
 
Hey, Thanks for reply i have done that and the file has the descriptors as listed. I have now tried downloading the files to a windows machine and not a mac it seems to have worked no idea what difference it made most be something how the extension is appeneded to the file name or something like that. Cheers Again Alex
