J2ME Wireless Toolkit 2.2, Netbeans 4.0 and jdk 1.4.2

[Pearson]

Hello guys, i am looking for the above mentioned items for my project, i wuld like to develop an application that tracks GPS devices so the code that i have uses heavily these items, even links where i cn get them online, thank you very much.

What's the problem with using the Java ME SDK, or NetBeans 7.1.1 with which it comes bundled?
JAVA ME SDK DOWNLOAD

Your post isn't clear. This --

i wuld like to develop an application that tracks GPS devices so the code that i have uses heavily these items

If the code is to run on a mobile device the development environment (provided of course the configuration is correctly set) doesn't affect how the application runs.

What exactly do you mean by tracks GPS devices?

thank you very much, i would like to develop a Java application that uses the wireless toolkit that comes with Netbeans, so i am having problem in securing the code online, the one i got specifically requires the Java wireless tolkit 2.2, for it to run on Netbeans, i hope u get me this time....

The WTK is a development tool, so it doesn't make sense to say that you have code that specifically requires that tool for it to run.

Are you planning to develop software that is to run on a desktop computer or on a mobile device? Also, you didn't answer this:

ok, the application run on either a mobile phone or a simulator on a computer either way its fine, the code is giving a reference error for Java Wireless Toolkit 2.2, so i thot its specific, is there a way to solve that reference problem? and by GPS devices i mean an application that cn be able to pick any GPS activated cellphone or device in its range and track heir movement

[DarrylBurke]

either a mobile phone or a simulator on a computer

Emulator. Not simulator. I'm guessing you don't know that when running on an emulator, everything about the device environment is emulated.

Emulators are for testing code under emulated conditions; not for running applications.

the code is giving a reference error for Java Wireless Toolkit 2.2

What's a reference error? When seeking help with an error, post the entire error text without paraphrasing.

pick any GPS activated cellphone or device in its range

What range? GPS is a passive system.

"C:\Users\LILIAN\Documents\NetBeansProjects\NMEASi m\nbproject\build-impl.xml:57: Platform home (platform.home property) is not set. Value of this property should be J2ME Wireless Toolkit 2.2 emulator home directory location.", this is the error message in the in the Netbeans console screen and for what i have in mind i nid a range of about 700m t0 1km.

1. What NetBeans version generated that error, and did you install and/or activate the Java ME plugin, aka Mobility Pack?
2. Did you create a new NetBeans project use some other approach to get the project to open in NetBeans?
3. Have you tried changing the Emulator Platform from the project properties?

and for what i have in mind i nid a range of about 700m t0 1km.

And what wireless device is going to provide that?

i am using Netbeans 7.1 wth Wireless Toolkit 3.0, i dd not create a new project, i just imported it into the IDE and when i tried to change the emulator platform i wntd to install version 2.2 then failed to secure it online. I am not very sure the wireless device that i am going to use for that kind of range.

Create a new ME project. Copy the source files. Set a suitable configuration, or the NB 7.1 / ME 3.0 default configuration may suffice.

I think you still haven't understood that GPS is a passive technology. GPS enables devices in your vicinity don't announce their presence.
