package javax.microedition.midlet.*; does not exist

im just getting into j2me programming via command line
im having problem with trying to compile a simple midlet

i get the following error message
package javax.microedition.midlet.*; does not exist

i thought it might be because it cant seem to find the classes

so i set the classpath with the dir and the lib folder that have the
j2me classes in

but no luck…
any ideas…?

#2

what is the commandline you are executing javac with?

#3

javac MIDLetTest.java

source is…

import javax.microedition.midlet.*;

public class MIDLetTest extends MIDLet
{
public MIDLetTest()
{
}
}

You have mis-named your super class.

The correct name is :- MIDlet

The correct commandline would be something like :-

javac -cp c:\wtk23\lib\midpapi20.jar *.java

I recommend you use an IDE such as eclipse (along with the eclipseME plugin).
Once setup correctly, you won’t have to worry about classpaths again - and you won’t ever mis-name a class.
