Just to clarify:

A JAD file is not an executable. A JAD file is actually a text file that contains info on the actual application. The reason to download this first is that this file tells the phone app manager whether the phone has the resources to run the app that is going to be downloaded.

The JAR file contains the zipped classes that are the actual executables. The JAD file has a variable that tells the app manager on the phone where the JAR for the app is located (URL). most java "executable" are packaged as .jar files...on the server, they are usually packaged as .WAR files.

Java class files themselves end in .class
