Using Netbeans to develop an MIDP app

[Nathan_M]

Hi,
I've seen the awesome screencast on the Netbeans site, and I want to give it a go. Unfortunately, I can't find an emulator that works on Linux with Netbeans. Has anyone had any luck with this?

The standard installed wireless toolkit has an emulator that would be enough for testing on.

Have you installed the wireless toolkit WTK ?
Did you install the netbeans mobile enabled version?

I can't get that working. Whichever path I select for the Java interpreter, it doesn't work. Here's what it says when I run the installer, with the bits I entered in blue(ish).

I don't know if you're still trying, but for anyone who runs across this thread and has that error:

The path to use is not /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/bin, it's /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/bin
