Sony Ericsson launched a (Windows) tool as part of the Capuchin project called SWF2JAR.

It takes a Midlet and Flash Lite SWF and generates a deployable jar file which will allow you to install and take advantage of the upcoming Capuchin API based content on supported Sony Ericsson handsets.

Here is more detail:

The Swf2Jar 1.0 tool automatically packages together a jar containing a Java MIDlet class and a Flash file (.swf).

The simplest Project Capuchin application is to package existing Flash Lite content in a MIDlet jar file which applies Java security, distribution methods and installation.

For those unfamiliar with Capuchin:

Sony Ericsson’s Project Capuchin technology is a Java™ ME API that defines a bridge between the Java ME and Adobe® Flash Lite™ programming environments, making it possible to use Flash Lite tools for compelling user interface (UI) design while still having access to all phone services through Java ME.

The first device to support Capuchin technology is reportedly the Sony Ericsson C905 which is scheduled for release in the Fall.
