Manifest file describes the files zipped in the .jar file,
like the name of the game, size.etc,
.jad file is used to install the j2me game on the mobile.
The .jad file while installing the application will look in
the manifest.mf file for the properties of .jar file.
If the mismatch is in jar size values, then the application
will install but the size given in the .jad file is
considered over the size given

Answer / amit kumar srivastava
The manifest.mf or manifest file describes information
about JAR file such as:
Application name, Application icon, MIDlet class name
MIDlet Vendor
MIDlet Version
MIDlet Name
MicroEdition Configuration(CLDC version)
MicroEdition Profile(MIDP version)
while a JAD(Java Application Descriptor) file describes all
the information which is in manifest file as well as some
more information such as MIDlet Jar Size(in KB) and MIDlet
Jar URL(Uniform Resourse Locator i.e. path of jar file)
JAD file describes following information for a JAR file:
Application name, Application icon, MIDlet class name
MIDlet Jar Size(in KB)
MIDlet Jar URL(path of jar file)
MIDlet Vendor
MIDlet Version
MIDlet Name
MicroEdition Configuration(CLDC version)
MicroEdition Profile(MIDP version)
A JAD file is used to install a JAR file on mobile.

Answer / akanksha
Manifest File contains information like CLDC and MIDP
versions, icon,which is not present in the Jad file.
Properties like jar size, data size, delete-confirm and
install notify are present in jad file but are not there in
manifest file.

Answer / shrikant
Jad file used to describe the path of jar file and also
describe the version and vendor etc.
jad file just shows the location where your jar is located

Answer / akanksha
Jad file is not a part of the entire package and any user
defined setting should be added to the jad file so that we
do not have to repackage, if the value changes later on.
Manifest file is the part of the package itself
