Eclipse question

[snoopy]

I am running Eclipse Mobile Java and am having problems creating a package it creates the .jad file but not the .jar file although I can create this manually through the wizard.

The problem is also I can run my program in eclipse through J2ME emulation but not when I export the jad and jar files ie they dont work as they should.

I realise that eclipse cannot be configured properly for the mobile plug in but for the life of me cannot figure out what I am doing wrong anyone with experience of eclipse, mobile programming, java or anything like that ... help would be greatly appreciated.


Peace

Ok I have figured out the jad and jar file thing now.

But I have another problem in that every program I wirte raises a java.lang exception, null pointer exception.

Dont know why yet again the programs run inside eclipse just when I create the package it wont run outside eclipse like it should.

Any help much appreciated.

First of all thanks for replying.

Second I am now fully up to speed with eclipse and producing top quality software for my mobile phone (I write engineering programs).

and I was disappointed no one knew java too....

I feel like such a geek being the only one that knows java

Oh well Im a geek...sigh....

Peace

lol you are no more geek then any other person who commonly joins in discussions on this thread.... shoot did i just narrow it down to myslef....? eeeh, whatever, you know what i mean

You are a brave geek, I'll give you that, if you admit to your knowledge of Java, though it's not as bad as admitting to C# or VB or something horrific like that...

I know 20+ languages, Java is only an acquaintance of mine, i just don't care for it, and would rather code in python and use the Jython cross-compiler.

I know other people know Java here, they just didn't see the thread probably.

Also whenever you post a coding question, please provide the code in question, because the fact that i dont know Java does not constitute that i will not be able to point out a flaw in your code, same is true for most developers here, notably Buffy and i think Craig. After about 5-6 languages synthax matters little... trust me.

So yeah, no need to feel like "such a geek", thread's just a little dormant that's all...

I want to be geek and so I join this discussion.

Seriously snoopy what don't you like about being a geek?

[alexander]

sanctus, how about posting in you know you are a geek thread, if you want to achieve true geekdom.

[sanctus]

Alex, how about making a code which searches the entries in the geek thread, which amongst other things gives you the names of people that joined that discussion? This would be very geeky compared to browse through the thread and find my contributions

Sorry here is the code but I dont think u can code in python for mobile phones can you ??

After all you need the microedition sdk
heres some code sorry never posted it....

}

It doesnt include the HelloCanvas MidLet but this just displays the logo screen and isnt that important unless you try and run this code in which case it is but either delete the hellocanvas parts or write your own splash screen and call it HelloCanvas.

If it becomes really important I will post it.

To Sanctus I dont mind being a geek... just sometimes I dont realise I am then something like this happens which forces me to face the truth of my geekiness.

Peace
