Problem packing with ant

[Mercor Fitzpatrick]

Guys,

I'm having a hard time packing a J2ME application w/ ant.
The scenario is this: my ant does all the job right (compile, preverify, and package w/o warnings or errors). Though, when I deploy and run it on my Nokia 6230 (or emulator) I get the following error message:

java/lang/VerifyError: net/benhui/btgallery/spp_gui/SPP_MIDlet

The funny thing is that when I create a package w/ the EclipseME plug-in, the application runs smoothly.

I would really appreciate if anyone could take a look on the following ant script, and point out what I might be getting wrong.

Mercor

From a quick glance, it may be that the jar is built from the ${TARGET_DIR}/classes and not from ${TARGET_DIR}/preverified.

I also use ant to package my midlets. Here is the preverify step from one of the build scripts:

<exec executable="bin/preverify1.1.exe">
<arg line="-classpath ${midp_lib}" />
<arg line="-d builds" />
<arg line="builds/${appname}.jar" />
</exec> 

In the example above, the jar is created first and the preverify step processes the jar file.

Thanks Rashid!

I really appreciate the time you took taking a glance at my script... it helped MUCH more than the many hours I had spent in vain searching the web.
