The eclipse plugin automatically generates the deliverables folders, which includes the .cod files and .alx files, you can deploy applications using various ways.
Some of the ways using which you can deploy your application to end users is by:
1. uploading your application in the blackberry world
2. Using .cod file of your application but it needs the blackberry jde
3. Using the .alx file and browsing it using the blackberry desktop software
4. The deliverables folder also contain .jad files too, by using this file, we can also deploy applications, but for that you need to follow certain steps
4.1 Copy the .jad and .cod files into one separate folder(Just to make sure you dont miss any files)
4.2 Rename the .cod file as .zip file Eg : abc.cod should be renamed as abc.zip
4.3 Once the .zip is done, we need to extract the files and then copy the extracted files and .jad into another folder(Just to be safe)
4.4 Now, upload this folder into the website and you hit the link from the blackberry browser and make sure there are no MIME types specified such as .doc, .docx, .xls etc in the servelet and if it is already mentioned then for .jad file mention it as “text/vnd.sun.j2me.app-descriptor”
4.5 You should actually hit the .jad file in the browser

Anyone doubts please let me know.
