Hi all. Been a long time lurker on here, but now that I have my PW (got it yesterday!) I am needing some help.

I am working on a "Hello World" kindlet and I can't seem to get it to run. I have signed the app with proper dev keys, setup the manifest file correctly (I believe), and yet when I try to open the kindlet on my PW, I get an error something like "Error: Unable to find class Main."

I have triple checked everything, and I can't find a problem with my code. I have attached the source if anyone could help.

A couple notes about the source:

Because this is on a PW, it uses the Kindlet-2.2.jar, which is the 2.0 version of the KDK (I believe.)

I am not using an IDE, just Notepad++ and some batch files to do the compiling. (In windows.) This is my usual way of coding, but I hardly ever mess with Java, so I may be doing something wrong.

Thanks!
I don't see anything really wrong either. However, if the error message you're citing is exactly what you see, then the implementation is looking for a class called "Main", while you are providing one called "main". Java is case-sensitive, and classes should always start with an upper-case letter. (It would be the first time that I see something being so picky about it, but it's always a good idea to follow conventions).

As a side note: of course, I'm not going to force anything onto you, but experience shows that programming with a real IDE is much less error-prone, and much more comfortable and efficient.
