Slim Java Edition OR Full Java Edition?

Question

I've been struggling to get the Flightlist demo to work with Slim Java Edition (SAP NetWeaver 04 SP11) with added "lcrserver.ear in "C:\usr\sap\J2E\JC00\SDM\root\origin\sap.com\com.sap.lcr\SAP AG\6.4011.00.0000.20050127171551.0000" to be able to use SLD in Sneak Preview. But no luck.
If I setup the JCO connections in SLD as default (Meta data and load balancing) I can't get test and ping to work to the  R/3 system I want to use. I get "partner not found" as error (I want to deploy locally but use BAPI's (as model) in Flightlist app.)
If I, on the other hand, define as application data and no load balancing in SLD the test and ping work but I get the following error when deploying:
'WD_FLIGHTLIST_RFC_METADATA_DEST' not properly defined! Unable to create Metadata connection for Dictionary Provider.
Either the logical System Name 'WD_FLIGHTLIST_RFC_METADATA_DEST' has not been properly defined in the System Landscape Directory,
or you are not using a MsgServerDestination (AppServerDestinations are not permitted for Metadata connections)
My question is: Do I have to install the Full Java Edition (SAP NetWeaver 04 SP15) to get this to work??

Well, I think this is where the problem is. I start the SLD setup by inputing:
Name: WD_FLIGHTLIST_MODELDATA_DEST
Client: 100
<Next>
"Use local J2EE engine "J2E on petjoh" chosen
<Next>
In this part (3 - Destination Type) I can only choose <Data Type> as "Application Data" and <Destination Type> as "Single Server Connection".
If I choose <Data Type> as "Dictionary Meta Data" and <Destination Type> as "Load-balanced Connection" I cannot make the Test and Ping to work. I can only get a approved test and ping with "Application Data" and "Single Server Connection". With This scenario I get the above mentioned error when trying to run the Flightlist demo (Deploy works fine though).
<Next>
If I've chosen "Dictionary Meta Data" and "Load-balanced Connection" as above, this step looks like:
Message Server: ANB exts0002
System Name: ANB (greyed out)
Logon Group: PUBLIC
If I've chosen "Application Data" "Single Server Connection" as above, this step looks like:
Application Server: exts0002_ANB_00
System id: 00
Use SAProuter: (not choosen)
(This is the scenario that works with test and ping)
<Next>
In this part I just put in Name (user), password and language.
<Next>
In the last part (6 - Summary) in the "Connection" tab I see: Application Server: exts0002 and System Id: 00
So, how can I get "Dictionary Meta data" and "Load-balanced Connection" to work?
