If you're shipping it with the app, then it should be in the app's jar
file. (It looks like there's also a file system of some sort, but I
don't think that'll be populated when you install the app, so you
should just stuff it in the jar file.

In theory, you can just drag and drop it into the source folder.

Here's what I use. It's the standard/best practice, so I don't think
it's covered under any NDA/license.
[...]
JSONObject root;
public SampleApplication()
{
InputStream stream = getClass().getResourceAsStream( "/res/
samplefeed.json" );
int length = 10240;
byte[] bArray = new byte[length];
StringBuffer data = new StringBuffer();
while ( (length = stream.read( bArray )) != -1 )
{
data.append( new String( bArray, "UTF-8" ) );
}
root = new JSONObject( data.toString() );
}

It looks like the Connector stuff is for files you store on an CF
card.
http://www.blackberry.com/developers/docs/4.5.0api/javax/microedition...
suggests that you should be using "file:///CFCard/newfile.txt" (Note
the empty hostname between the second and third slashes. :P )

That all seemed understandable to me.
