Incrementing the Application s MIDlet-Version Automatically

Incrementing the Application's MIDlet-Version Automatically

The IDE has a built-in method that allows you to auto-increment the MIDletVersion attribute in the JAR file each time you deploy the application. This can be useful, as some physical devices have a Check for Updates function for installed applications. If you increment the value, this device function automatically detects a new version when you deploy the application.

Deploying with an incremented value can be done in the following manner:

1.	Right-click your project in the Projects window and choose Properties.
2.	Select the Attributes node in the Project Properties dialog box.
3.	Select the MIDlet-Version record and click Edit.
4.	Enter ${deployment.number} in the Value field.
5.	Click OK.
