I'm currently trying to program some applications for cellphones in Java using your J2ME module in IDEA. So far everything is fine except one thing: You can have IDEA create custum properties in the JAD file when generating it but unfortunately not so for the manifest file in the JAR. My J2ME profile requires to have a property called "MIDlet-1: " plus its value to occure in the JAD as well as in the manifest file. To customise the properties for the JAD file was no problem but I can't find a way to make IDEA include that custom property in the manifest file as well.

I can suggest you to use custom manifest file. It isn't a good solution, I know, but i don't think that it is better to enable/disable every user defined option in settings. What do you think?
Thanks.

Well, it would be much easier to add a few custom properties to a table that writes them into the autogenerated manifest file rather than creating an entire manifest by hand. But it would be a workaround. Unfortunately the user manifest option doesn't work for me, I had that idea as well but it just didn't use my set manifest file. I actually opened a seperate bug herefor yesterday (Key: IDEA-3710) but there was no response to it yet.

Thanks.
