Installing Java Apps on HTC Desire?

[1st_Paladin]

Hi,

Has anyone done this? I've migrated from Nokia E72 to HTC Desire. It would be great to run my old Java apps on HTC Desire.

Many thanks.

java files are .jar or .jad and android are .apk so no different file types, won't work

Update: Was experimenting with the Java app that's pre-installed in the unit. When I pressed the "Menu" key and selected SD card, it came up with a list of available Jar files for installation. Was then able to install the apps and even create a folder. Not all the Jar app will install.

Really like the HTC Desire.

Java: Via third party application

I found the above text in the HTC Desire's specification in gsmarena.com

Does it not mean Desire supports java app via a 3rd party app(emulator)?
