Type of files created in a Blackberry project

Question

I created my first Hello World project for BlackBerry, and the following files were created in the final results folder:

- HelloWorld.cod - HelloWorld.cso - HellowWorld.debug - HelloWorld.jad - HelloWorld.jar - HelloWorld.rapc 

What is the purpose of each of these files? I know at least that the jar file needs to be deployed as a mobile application. But what about all the other files?

Answer 1

The .cod file is basically a private version of the .jar BlackBerry file. (This is usually a version downloaded from the App Store.)

The .cso file is a helper file used when signing an application. (He says which keys are needed.)

The .debug file is a helper file used when launching the application in the debugger.

A .jad file describes an application to help a device know if it is compatible. (If you downloaded to BlackBerry from a website instead of the App Store, this is the file to which you point your link, which will contain the path to cod / jar.)

The .jar file is the main MIDP application file, which is a kind of generic Java environment for Java.

The .rapc file is a helper file used by BlackBerry JDB when compiling / building a project.
