What is JAD file?
The JAD file extension is a Java Application Descriptor file, which stores information about a Java application intended to be used on a mobile device such as a mobile phone. It contains theJava class name and MIDlet-Name, which is the public name of the application. It may also store additional attributes such as MIDlet-Version, MIDlet-Vendor, MIDlet-Data-Size, MicroEdition-Profile and MicroEdition-Configuration. All of these fields help identify the MIDlet application. [ ⏩ ] JAD file extension
How to convert the file from SIS to JAD?
To successfully convert the SIS file to JAD, you should install one of the applications from the list. After installing the software, open the program and select the file you want to convert (file-name.SIS). The next step is to select the target format from the list, in this case JAD (usually converters allow you to convert to several different formats, so check out their features - maybe one of the available formats will suit you more than JAD).
What is a file conversion?
A data conversion is normally an automated process to some extent. The effect of the operation of one program is automatically the input product of another application. If that does not happen we need to help the process a little bit and convert the file on our own, e.g. SIS to JAD. To obtain a matched structure of the data, it is necessary to use an appropriate converter.
Program for converting SIS files to JAD files is a kind of a "binary code translator" compensating for the differences in the code or translating it in such a way so that another application could use it. For us, as users, the visible change will be only another file extension. (After converting the file, it will be the extension JAD, while before this step we had the SIS file). For the programs, the difference is on a much higher level – either the application will be able to open a new JAD file, or not.
