Does anyone know of a program which will convert these applications automatically ?

How do u mean convert?
A .jar file is a type of zip file anyway, simply rename the file extension

There u go then, simply rename the file extension to .jar

his/her question is potentially not as naive as it seems -- if (s)he has a .zip/.jar from somewhere that they want installed on their phone, then they'll be wanting a .jad file to accompany the .jar.. you don't -need- a .jad file for a number of cases, but in case you do:
i'm unaware of an app that looks at a jar file and deduces a correct .jad, but that doesn't prevent you from writing your own jad if you know the path of the main-class in the jar -- the spec for the midp2.0 jad can be found through here:

(and the midp1.0 through here:

Thank you quaeler ,
On my last PC I had a program that would scan for zip's and then detect whether they should be Jar or Jad files and convert them automatically . On some XP versions when the file is saved it will not allow you to rename it ...
