What do the following tags mean and what values are meaningful (can we do something useful with them???)

• RIM-Library-Flags: reserved for use by RIM
• RIM-MIDlet-Flags: reserved for use by RIM

RIM-MIDlet-Flags describes the type of application:

0 if the application is a standard midlet

1 if the application should automatically run on startup

2 if the application is a system module

3 if the application is a system module that should automatically run on startup.

This should automatically be set in the jad output by rapc based on the arguments used when rapc is called.  

If an application is a library you have to use RIM-Library-Flags with a value of 2.

Thanks Kurt.

What does it mean if your jad contains the following?

RIM-MIDlet-Flags-1

RIM-MIDlet-Flags-2

jad file may contain reference to the several (sibling) cod files. Sibling cod files are packed inside on cod file.

And in these cases there are additional lines in jad file for every additional (sibling) cod file.

I believe this is incorrect.  Sibling cod files just break a single binary into manageable chunks.  They still behave as a single cod.

An application can have multiple entry points, but my understanding is that entry points are expressed with MIDlet-1 / MIDlet-2

So if you had 2 midlets or modules you would have MIDlet-1 and MIDlet-2 in the jad and would adding RIM-MIDlet-Flags-1: 0 mean that the first midlet/module is a system module and RIM-MIDlet-Flags-2: 3 means that the second midlet/moduleis a system module and auto starts?
