NoClassDefFoundError in j2me

Question

I have build a jar file and trying to use it in j2me application. I have included the jar in the build path and imported the required classes as well. But when I run my j2me application I am getting NoClassDefFound Error in the line where I am trying to instantiate the class which is present in the jar.

I can instantiate the classes of the jar in the java project but not in j2me.

Below is the error log:

Any help would be appreciated.

Answer 1

Finally able to solve the issue.
The problem was not in the code. It was due to the compilation issue.

First of all To solve the NoClassDefFoundError , I had to right click on the project and in the build path-> order and export -> check the jar that you have added.

Later while running I faced classFormatError 56.

The jar file which was created, was compiled using 1.6v.
And the j2me application was getting compiled with 1.3v.

I had to recompile my library project with 1.3v and create a jar out of it and used it in the j2me application.

Here is the link to guide: Build a Project from the Command Line - Java ME SDK

Answer 2

It specifies that class file present at compile time is not found at run time.Check for build time and run time classpaths .
