PRC Command-Line Conversion
The PRC GUI-based converter tool is easy to use. However, this comes at the expense of functionality. For example, what if you wish to associate a new icon with your application rather than have the default icon? You can use the command-line converter to complete this and other tasks.
The MIDP for Palm OS distribution comes with a
command-line tool for converting JAR files to PRC files. The tool is
the MakeMIDPApp
, which is part of the
converter.jar
archive. To run this converter, use the
command:
C:\mid4palm1.0\converter> java -cp converter.jar com.sun.midp.palm.database.MakeMIDPApp [options] JARfile
The options for this command are shown in Table 9-1:
