How to install/configure Eclipse for J2ME development for the Nokia S40 series? (windows)

If you want to develop for Nokia S40 you should install the following

* Java Development Kit (6) - required to develop Java applications
* Eclipse Java (Helios) - need this to code, compile, debug and others
* Nokia s40 SDK (v.6) (login required) - used to emulate Nokia platform
* Mobile Tools for Java - Eclipse extension for Mobile development (integrates with nokia SDK)

Installation:
  1. open the downloaded jdk and click through the installation
  2. include the JDK in the PATH variable: see my 'set windows path' article
  3. install Eclipse by simply extracting the archive
  4. install Nokia SDK
  5. configure Eclipse settings for SDK (see documentation1 and documentation2)
  6. install Mobile Tools for Java (MTJ) via the Eclipse software installer with link: http://download.eclipse.org/dsdp/mtj/updates/1.1.0/stable/
  7. add device to Eclipse: go to preferences\java ME\Device management, manual install and search for the folder in which the Nokia SDK was installed (...\devices\S40_6th_Edition_SDK\bin\). Eclipse searches for a device specification.
  8. Now, in Eclipse you can create a new MIDlet Project with a Java ME Midlet file.
Feel free to add comments, tips or improvements.
