Please Help. NetBeans IDE Problem + rt.jar. Trouble compiling MIDlets.

Hi all. For the past few weeks I have undertaken learning Java for mobile devices. I am having a slight problem with NetBeans 5.5 which I would appreciate help in fixing.

Currently installed on my system:-

- Wireless Toolkit 2.5

- NetBeans IDE 5.5 + Mobility Pack

- j2sdk1.4.2_13

- jdk1.6.0

- jre1.6.0

- javaee sdk5_02

(So pretty much every Java application!)

Now the problem. Basically, if I import the following at the beginning for my MIDlet...

import java.io.*;

import java.text.*;

import java.util.*;

import javax.servlet.*;

import javax.servlet.http.*;

import java.sql.*;

... thejava.sql has red line underneath saying "package does not exist". Now, what I found is that I need to import .jar files into the Library section. I managed to fix the javax.servlet package and some others, by importing the correct .jar files, but I found that to remove the red line for java.sql I needrt.jar.

However, this is located under one of my jre folders and not the j2me / jdk folders I have. Even though it removes the red line, when I compile the project I keep receiving "PREVERIFY" errors and "CONSTANT POOL" errors.

Yet, if I remove thert.jar file, these go away, but it won't compile then because it says the package is missing (back to square one!).

So, any ideas please? I have spent days and days just adding random .jar files to try and fix the problem but to no avail. An example of current imported .jar files in NetBeans:-

- rt.jar

- midpapai.zip

- jdbc.jar

- servlet.jar

- runtime12.jar

- classes12.jar

- ojdbc.jar

Try not to be too technical, I've only just started out. Lol. Thanks in advance!!

well... J2ME world is quite diffirent from usual Java. Actually you will not be able to use much of the staff, that you have imported, including java.io.* (it will be only available in CDC), java.servlet.*, java.servlet.http.*, java.sql.*

So don't even try to find where are those packages are located....

Try from simple tutorial like:

Or from documentation on Netbeans.org:
