Description echicken 2005-11-04 19:19:12 UTC 
I'm new to netbeans and have run into an obstacle pretty quickly. I'm running 
NetBeans 4.1 against jdk1.5.0_05. I created a new Mobile Application project 
and tried to run the automatically generated code i.e. HelloMidlet.java. 
During compilation, the following error is shown:

BUILD FAILED (total time: 0 seconds)

This also happens for any other code I try to compile. Anyone know if there's 
anything I can do to resolve this?

Looks to me, that you upgraded to jdk1.5.0_05 recently. The issue is caused by
invalid path in emulator launcher now.
You have two options: Upgrade to NB 5.0, we resolved this issue there.
or
shut down the IDE
Delete:
$USER_HOME/.netbeans/4.1/emulators/
$USER_HOME/.netbeans/4.1/config/Services/Platforms/org-netbeans-api-java-Platform/J2ME_Wireless_Toolkit_2_2.xml
Start the IDE. Umul;ator should appear again with valid path.

We will not fix this for NetBeans 4.1.
