J2ME in Eclipse with LWUIT - got an Exception

Question

I have created so many J2ME Applications in NetBeans. now I want to create

J2ME Applications in Eclipse instead of NetBeans.

so I am new to Eclipse and I have installed MTJ Plug-in in Eclipse 3.7.2 Indigo

and also J2ME wireless Toolkit for Devices.

I can create applications and run then but when I am using LWUIT.jar and

make simple Hello world Project then I can not create it.

When I am selecting compiler Level (Complier complaince level in Java

compiler) to 1.3 then I got an exception like,

Running with storage root DefaultColorPhone

and when I set other compiler level to other like 1.4, 1.5, 1.6 or 1.7 then I

got an exception like,

Answer 1

Keep project compiler level as 1.3.

Download Lwuit version 1.5 from http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javame/javamobile/download/lwuit/index.html

Inside lib folder you find LWUIT_MIDP.jar Make sure you use this file.

Update

NoClassDefFoundError: com/sun/lwuit/Display may be caused by the LWUIT jar not being marked as an exported library. Look at Project Properties .. Java Build Path .. Order and Export. LWUIT_MIDP.jar must be marked.
