But in general I agree with Ortiz comments with respect to OTA via carrier.

It could then download and parse the JAD and compare the MIDlet-Version in there with that of the currently installed MIDlet. If there's a newer version, the user could be asked to upgrade.

The whole archiver approach to extract the manifest is just more work than including the JAD file in the first place. The idea of the JAD first to ensure it meets requirements is not a bad idea, and as applications get bigger and bigger it will continue making sense, especially as JAD files will provide information such as library, and library dependencies and versions, -- no need to download a large JAR (particularly if there is no flat-rate) if anyways it won't meet pre-requisistes. ceo I’ve to disagree on this one :-).
