Description AlexL 2011-03-05 12:03:17 UTC 
Windows 7 x64

Install NetBeans 6.9.1 "Java" version.
Activate JavaME plugins.
Go to Tools-Java Platforms and remove installed SDK 3.0 platform.
Try to add it back.

"Automatic detection of the selected platform failed." message appears, platform cannot be added.
Also is not possible to add any ME SDK installation as MIDP platform.

An exception in messages.log:

Comment 1 Adam Sotona 2011-03-07 13:37:31 UTC 
I've just tested the described case and it works for me.

Potential reasons that can cause emulator fail to start:
- already started Java ME SDK Device Manager which fails to response
- active firewall blocking the emulator execution
- mixed installation of 64bit and 32bit Java on the system (only 32bit JVM is supported)
- broken emulator binaries or conflict with some other installed versions

Please try to start the affected emulator.exe standalone to detect the root cause.
Comment 2 AlexL 2011-03-10 17:03:01 UTC 
You are right - this is because of 64-bit JDK.
