SWF to Jar conversion for Flash Lite™ files is probably the easiest way to use the power of Project Capuchin. Simply download the Swf2Jar (Windows version, Mac version) tool and install it.
You will be greeted by a screen telling you to load a SWF-file. It looks like this:
Enter the path to the file, the name of the application and your name as a developer and click “Create”. You’re done! You now have a midlet in the form of a -jad and jar-file that can be installed on any Project Capuchin capable phone as an ordinary Java application. Now, submit it to our application store and start making money.
As always, you can use the Phone Gallery to see which phones have Project Capuchin. Simply click the JSRs & APIs link and select Project Capuchin.
What is Project Capuchin? Capuchin merges Flash Lite™ with Java ME. The simplest way of using it is to embed a Flash Lite™ application in a Java ME midlet as described above, but you can do much more than that.

Mobile applications directly from the drawing boards and the creative minds in the Sony Ericsson Developer World can be found at our recently launched Sony Ericsson Labs site.
Many of the applications are written using our Capuchin framework for bridging Java ME and Flash Lite. Check out the Capuchin Calculator for a nice example.
Some of the applications are more concept-like (the Capuchin Carshop for example) and others are full blown apps with server side support and a rich user experience (like Hanashi). Do try them out and give us feedback in the comments and rating system for the apps. You can download the applications directly from your mobile phone at http://labs.sonyericsson.com/mobile.
