Convert to PRC
Before a jar file may be run on the Palm OS Platform, it must first be run through a "PreVerifier" and then converted into a "PRC" file. To do this, right-click on a .jar file in the IDE. Choose the 'Convert to PRC...' option. A screen will appear with the following options for the PRC which will be generated:
The Main class should be the first Spotlet which will be run by your application. The Creator code may contain a Creator ID which has been registered with Palm, Inc. If it is left blank, the application will appear as a generic application. If the application will be using networking on the Palm OS Platform, the Allow networking box should be checked. Note that this will require a network connection when starting the application. If no Bitmaps are selected for the Icon or Small Icon, then generic icons will be to display the program on the Palm OS Platform. A Small Icon should be 15x9, and a Icon should be 32x22. If larger bitmaps are used, only the pixels in the upper left hand side would be used.
The Preverifier executable must be set up in the Program Settings (page 32) for this to work.
Load classes onto the Palm OS Platform
Once a class has been converted to a PRC, it is nearly ready to be loaded onto the Palm OS Platform. If the "PRC Install Tool Executable" has been set in the Program Settings, double-clicking the PRC in the IDE will cause it to be loaded onto the Palm OS Platform device the next time a HotSync(TM) operation is performed.
