Signing a MIDlet suite allows MIDP devices to verify the integrity and origins of your MIDlet suite. To sign a MIDlet suite, you use the Signing Properties page to assign or create a key pair:

You can then export the key pair to the emulator platform you are using for testing.

To sign a MIDlet suite:

  1. Choose File > <active project name> Properties. In the Project Properties dialog, select Build and expand Signing.
  2. Check the Sign Distribution checkbox to enable signing.
  3. Choose a keystore from the Keystore dropdown menu.
  4. Choose an alias from the Alias keystore dropdown menu. The menu lists the available aliases for the selected keystore.
  5. If necessary, click the unlock buttons to make the keystore and alias available for use.
  6. Click the Export Key into Java ME SDK/Platform/Emulator button to export a key into the emulator platform you intend to use to test the MIDlet.
