'failed to install midlet' error on XDA orbit

[tashjp]

I have developed a very simple midlet (my first one) that uses GPS to determine location coordinates and then displays them on the screen. (CLDC 1.1 and MIDP 2.0)
I am using the O2 XDA Orbit and have tried to install this using midlet manager as well as downloading from a host. Both times I recieved the error 'failed to install midlet'.
Does anyone have any ideas how to fix this?

Thanks,
Natasha.

1. welcome to XDA-Dev :)

2. as defcomg has stated, the TAO Intent MIDlet manager doesn't seem to support serial access. Install Jbed (see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1483665&postcount=24 ) and try again.

Thank you both, I shall give it a go!

I installed JBed and now the midlet installs, however when I try to run the app I get this error:
"The midlet could not be instantiated:java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError"

My midlet only contains one class, could this be something to do with using an optional API (Location JSR 179)?
I read somewhere that you had to add a midlet-extensions property to the manifest which I have done (Midlet-Extensions: javax.microedition.location), could this be part of the problem?

Thanks,
Natasha.
