Problem during packaging: empty jar in \.mtj.tmp\emulation [message #485552] Sun, 13 September 2009 11:19 Go to next message

Hi

After 4 years successfully using EclipseME, today I upgraded to MTJ. I
have encountered a problem generating packaged builds, both obfuscated and
non-obfuscated.

For some reason, the packaging process creates a fresh file in
\.mtj.tmp\emulation\ABC.jar that contains only the mainfest, ie all
classes and resources are missing. Perhaps the PackageBuilderVisitor class
isnt operating correctly?

Another thing: the error is detected late and indirectly by MTJ. The
actual error in the logs is "failed to inflate jar file", and it occurs
much later in the build process. Before that, Proguard had failed, and yet
MTJ just shows a popup and continues on heedless. I had to download and
read the MTJ source code to trace the cause back to the empty jar in the
emulation folder. Fail fast!

In PackageBuilder.updatePackage(), why not validate that the created Jar
has >= 1 classfile, before continuing to the next step, so as to detect
error states closer to where they happen?

Hi there,

this thread is a few months old, but I ran into the same problem today, and since roughly 800 people also looked at it, it seems still relevant.

For me, one of the two things fixed the problem (maybe a combination of the two):

close and re-open the project,
set another device configuration

after doing that my jar file contained classes and resources again. Hope that helps.

I should mention, that I had an existing MIDP Project in my workspace, and updated Eclipse / MTJ then. That was when trouble started.

I had the same problem and searched the web to no avail but after much struggle I found the solution.

Go to the build tab in the Application Descriptor and make sure the directory with your source files(default is src) is ticked.

I ve got the same problem with packaging after I converted my netbeans mobility project to eclipse pulsar.

In my case the reason of "empty" jar was a missing "build.properties" file in the root of the eclipse project. Looks like MTJ does not bother to notify a user about missing configuration file and does not recreate it.
