Is there any way to generate Jad games to jar games.
I know there is a way to generate jar to jad, but is there any jar generator?

The jad file only contains some details of the corresponding jar file (size, platform, URL for download etc).

It is, therefore, impossible to generate the jar from the jad.

The jad files are rarely required since all the information that is in the jad file is in the jar file anyway!

Just a thought!

U can use some Develop Emulator for Nokia/Samsung,load file jar & it will create file jad. But if U use T610,it neednt JAD.
JAD file nearly like the file MANIFEST in JAR file (u can use Winzip to view)

Open the JAD file in notepad, and you will see a URL to a JAR file.
Download that file and that's it!

P.S. If the URL is bad, it means the JAD file is bad too!

The jar and jad file are often downloaded from the same location at the same time, and are supposed to be temporarily stored on the same location in the phone before the program is installed. Then, when the jad file is "installed", the phone reads in the jad file where to find the jar file, and this address may very well be a relative address, i.e. it may not be possible to find the jar file if you only have the jad file.
The jad file also contains some attributes that are not in the jar file, like if the java preogram is a screenlocker program or a desktop backgroud program, and also if the program requires som kind of extra treatment, like extra memory size, a special icon or an alternate display name.
In most cases, the jad file is not needed, though, since the jar file will install correctly using the phone's default settings.

There is even a program to extract the jar or jad file from installed applications.
