Error when trying first test "midp HelloMidp"

Question

Hello,
I'm a newbie with j2me I have a small problem to create my first application.
I'm tried an example I read in a book.
Here is the code of my class:
import javax.microedition.midlet.*;
import javax.microedition.lcdui.*;
public class HelloMidp extends MIDlet {
public void startApp() {
Form form = new Form("HelloMidp");
Display.getDisplay (this).setCurrent (form);
public void pauseApp(){
public void destroyApp(boolean unconditional){
I have defined some environment variables under WinXP:
MIDP_BCP=C:\j2me\midp2.0fcs\classes
MIDP_HOME=C:\j2me\midp2.0fcs
I can compile my class with
javac -bootclasspath %MIDP_BCP% HelloMidp.java
There is no error.
I can preverify with
preverify -classpath .;%MIDP_BCP% HelloMidp
There is no error.
But when I want to test it with midp.exe
I use "cd output", "midp HelloMidp"
I receive the error "java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: HelloMidp"
I don't understand where is the problem.
Thanks in advance.
Alain.

hmm...
in general it should work, if you are in the ouput dir (as you said), use the "-cp ." for classpath definition to the local directory and name the class (as you did).
try this "midp -cp . HelloMidp" from the directory, where the class is located. (you may add more paths seperated with ; to the cp (abbr. for classpath, should work also).
Well, and with the WTK, simply create a new project, put the HelloMidp in the src dir, specify it as MIDlet or Application and (build and) run it. I dont understand, why this should not work. Strange...
