MIDlet suite - permalink - collapse

All > Technology > Programming > Java

MIDlets are packaged and distributed as MIDlet suites. A MIDlet suite can contain one or more MIDlets. The MIDlet suite consists of two files, an application descriptor file with a .jad extension and an archive file with a .jar file. The descriptor lists the archive file name, the names and class names for each MIDlet in the suite, and other information. The archive file contains the MIDlet classes and resource files.

In Exchange Server documentation, this is the scenario in which you upgrade to Exchange Server 2007 by migrating data from a non-Exchange messaging system to Exchange Server 2007 or from an existing Microsoft Exchange organization to a completely new Exchange organization, without retaining any of the Exchange configuration data in the first organization. Example: When merging with another company, you can perform a migration. In this scenario, you move mailboxes and data to the other company's Exchange organization, without retaining any of the configuration data from your existing Exchange organization. Example: When upgrading from Lotus Notes to Exchange Server 2007, you perform a migration. In this scenario, you must move mailboxes and data to the new Exchange Server 2007 organization, without retaining any of the data from the Lotus Notes organization. [Exchange 2007]
