How to run Nokia SDK S60 in Eclipse - EclipseMe

We had some difficulties running Nokia SDK S60 applications under EclipseMe. Basically, there are two ways of running Midlets in EclipseMe:

• Directly from the JAR, specifying the main class (Midlet option in EclipseMe)
• Referencing a JAD file, that links to the JAR

Both these two options seem to have bugs:

• Running from the JAR, Nokia SDK complains about a mismatch in the JAR size dimension
• Running form the JAD, NOkia SDK complains about a file not found exception for the JAD

We found a workaround for the latter (JAD) approach.

1. Create the package
2. Modify the JAD file under the 'deplyed' folder and add your midlet in the 'midlet' tab
3. Select the JAD file under the 'deployed' folder
4. Remove the 'file:/' prefix in the JAD URL
5. EclipseMe at this point blocks the run button, apply the change anyway and close.
6. Run the application from the main control panel
   

At this point the application runs without problems. The only glitch is that S60 Emulator is VERY slow. You can consider using the S40 Emulator which is much faster.
