Hi all,

I have ported my LWUIT JavaME app to CodenameOne about a year ago. The app utilizes programmatically com.codename1.ui.* stuff from CodenameOne svn repository, gui designer or emulator is not utilized. Today I fetched new code from CodenameOne svn repository and noticed that the ui stuff doesn't compile using JavaME SDK anymore. Is there any way to do this? I wouldn't want to port the code manually, use CodenameOne gui designer or emulator or revert back to buggy LWUIT.

Thanks for your comments.

Hi,
you don't need to use the GUI builder to use Codename One.
In the new project wizard just select the second option for handcoded application when going thru the steps and your code will work with Codename One and its simulator as expected.

We now use Java 5 in Codename One so you need to use retroweaver (in the SVN too) to compile it. I would suggest using our build cloud though, its simple, free and supported.

Hi,

Thank you very much for the information. I tried to compile and setup retroweaver on OS X but it didn't work, it compiled but there was no output at all. Also the original latest retroweaver release binary didn't work, same result. Any ideas?

Thanks once again

create a CN1 project in NB or Eclipse create a non gui project paste all your code to the new project and build it using the build server.

Sorry for the LATE question. Can you explain the process of building/using RetroWeaver.
I've built RetroWeaver from CodenameOne github repo, but it doesn't seem to work properly. Thank you.

I'm guessing you tried running it on Java 8 code.
