Error preverifying class - java/lang/NoClassDefFoundError: java/lang/Object

Is an error you might see when preverifying your midlet. Basically the problem is that the verifier can not find the referenced classes - and if it complains about java.lang.Object it basically can not find anything.

We had this today, and the reason was that our tool (IntelliJ) generated a not so good ant file, with the classpath for the jre. That is not what the preverifier expects. Rather it should be something like:
-classpath C:\WTK2.5.2\lib\cldcapi11.jar;C:\WC:\WTK2.5.2\lib\midpapi21.jar
