.htaccess mime type for .jar .jad .cod files for over-the-air Blackberry installs

This is mostly self documentation. If you find this useful then great!

To install a Blackberry app over-the-air you will need these mime types in your .htaccess file. Or if you are using IIS you will need to use the IIS Management snapin to add them.

AddType text/vnd.sun.j2me.app-descriptor jad
AddType application/java-archive jar
AddType application/vnd.rim.cod cod

And, upload the “deliverables\Web\X.0.0″ files not the “deliverables\Standard\X.0.0″ files. Not sure why/how/what but I kept getting the dreaded 907 invalid cod error message otherwise.

Cheers!
