hi the fix Pander gave didn't work completely (or perhaps i couldn't understand enough of the page to follow the instructions properly) but between him and Craig i was pushed onto the right track. i installed the WTK as root, so all the files were owned by root. i loaded eclipse as root and found that the devices appeared during the search, and so i experimented with permissions for other users until my regular user could see the devices. in the end i found i worked when i gave execute permissions for all users to all the files in WTK2.2/bin/ which had execute permissions for group already, so that's chmod o+x defaultdevice ktoolbar libjmcustommpx.so mekeytool prefs preverify preverify1.0 preverify1.1 runmidlet utils wscompile zayit
i'm not sure all these files needed the permissions, but it now works. thanks very much to you all. --bart ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
