In Eclipse, I did: Source > Clean up, and did a clean up according to these rules:

  • Change non static accesses to static
    members using declaring type
  • Change indirect accesses to static
    members to direct accesses (accesses
    through subtypes)
  • Remove unused imports
  • Add missing ‘@Override’ annotations
  • Add missing ‘@Deprecated’ annotations
  • Remove unnecessary casts
  • Remove unnecessary ‘$NON-NLS$’ tags

but I can’t seem to compile it anymore. I get the following error:

Error preverifying class com.myapp.blackberry.Override
java/lang/NoClassDefFoundError: java/lang/annotation/Annotation
Error!: Error: preverifier failed: C:\eclipse\plugins\net.rim.ejde.componentpack6.0.0_6.0.0.29\components\bin\preverify.exe -d C:\DOCUME …
Packaging project myapp failed (took 0.422 seconds)

When I hover over @Override, it gives me suggestion “Override cannot be resolved to a type”

I am not sure what to do at this point..

    Blackberry development is built on top of j2me, which has the language features of Java 1.3. This means it doesn’t support annotations. You can remove the @Override annotations and your code will work. Remember these are optional although recommended anyways.

    What I do, is write //@Override instead. When/If annotations are added in the future it will be easy to do a regex replace and remove the comment marks.
