Re: [J2me-device-db-general] Plugin Problems

[Sebastian S. <seb...@op...>]

Hi,

microcode framework creates a "device.profile" which can be found in
/dist/src after deployment.

Like written in the documentation you have to include this file in your
java-sources with

//#include "device.profile"

After that you can access all device-properties and also the properties
generated by pngsize plugin.

BR, Sebastian
