the installation has completed

3.1.3 Launching Java ME Detectors
On the majority of Java-enabled feature phones, you launch a Java appli-
cation from a designated menu on which all installed Java applications
reside. An important feature of Symbian OS is that Java applications are
executed from the main applications menu, just like native applications.
In this respect, Java applications are treated as 'first-class citizens' and are
no different to any native application installed or running on the device.
Now that the Java installer has completed its task, let's run
JSRsDe-
tectorMIDlet
on our reference devices:
•
On the Nokia N95, click on Main menu, Applications.
•
On the Sony Ericsson W960i, from the home screen, press Menu,
Tools.
Both devices present you with the main application menu from which
all installed applications are launched (see Figure 3.4). Select the MIDlet
and run it. Congratulations, you have just completed the task of running
a MIDlet on a Symbian smartphone.
