preverify:ERROR: floating-point constants should not appear, while running the code in j2me using netbeans 6.9

Question

all I am making a new project in J2ME-Polish2.1.4 and when I create a new project using J2ME-Polish2.1.4, the build is successful but when i run this code then I see the error about floating-point constants with more details below.

How to recover from this issue?

If you look deeper into preferify classpath, there is an indication of what caused the error.

C:\WTK2.5.1\bin\preverify.exe -classpath d:\J2ME-Polish2.1.4\import\mmapi.jar;d:\J2ME-Polish2.1.4\import\cldc-1.0.jar;d:\J2ME-Polish2.1.4\import\midp-2.0.jar;d:\J2ME-Polish2.1.4\import\nokia-ui.jar;d:\J2ME-Polish2.1.4\import\wmapi-2.0.jar;d:\J2ME-Polish2.1.4\import\wmapi.jar;d:\J2ME-Polish2.1.4\import\btapi.jar;d:\J2ME-Polish2.1.4\import\m3g.jar;d:\J2ME-Polish2.1.4\import\jsr172.jar;d:\J2ME-Polish2.1.4\import\fileconnection.jar;d:\J2ME-Polish2.1.4\import\pim.jar;d:\J2ME-Polish2.1.4\import\m2g.jar -d D:\Faraz\development\J2ME-Polish-Projectaaaa\build\test\Nokia\7610\en_US\classes -nofp -nofinalize -nonative D:\Faraz\development\J2ME-Polish-Projectaaaa\build\test\Nokia\7610\en_US\classes 

Above refers to cldc-1.0.jar meaning that your build is configured for CLDC 1.0 where floating point is not supported indeed. That's why your build fails.

To get it fixed, either get rid of floating point code in your application or use CLDC 1.1 that allows for float and double.
