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

[James B. <jm...@ho...>]

Thanks for the reply,

I've just taken the latest version from CVS (at about 3.30 today) and 
rebuilt. I've then taken the framework project example 
mariobros-example.zip. Unpacked it, altered the properties etc.

Then I've added a new resource called donkey.png and added the following to 
the res.bld

#pngsize on
+donkey.png

In the generated device.profile I get the following:

//#define $full_canvas 1
//#define $vendor nokia
//#define $model s60
//#define $profile nokia/s60
//#define $nokia 1
//#define $nokia/s60 1
//#define $uses.nokia/s60
//#define $uses.nokia/base
//#define $uses.generic/midp1
//#define $midp.version 1
//#define $cldc.version 1.0
//#define $mmapi 0
//#define $btapi 0
//#define $nokiaapi 1
//#define $siemensapi 0
//#define $samsungapi 0
//#define $vscl 0
//#define $wmapi 0
//#define $mascotapi 0
//#define $m3gapi 0
//#define $pdaapi 0
//#define $locationapi 0
//#define $webservicesapi 0
import javax.microedition.lcdui.*;
import javax.microedition.midlet.*;
import javax.microedition.rms.*;
//#define $uses.includes/nokiaapi
import com.nokia.mid.ui.*;
import com.nokia.mid.sound.*;
//#define $nokiaapi.ott 1
//#define $nokiaapi.wav 1
//#define $key.up -1
//#define $key.down -2
//#define $key.left -3
//#define $key.right -4
//#define $key.softleft -6
//#define $key.softright -7
//#define $key.clear -8
//#define $canvas_class FullCanvas
//#define $uses.nokia/canvas_176x208
//#define $canvas.width 176
//#define $canvas.height 208
//#define $icon.width 42
//#define $icon.height 29

Which is missing the donkey properties.

Is there a step I'm missing, or is this a bug?

Cheers,

James Brook
