Can you post a screen shot of your project properties?  Specifically the Application tab.

Actually yesterday I already tried to post it, but I couldn't, no matter by trying to insert as a local word document or as a local image, on XP or Vista. Today my colleague tried again but also failed.

I can't post an image on our company website. So here is a detailed description of the Application tab, with "black/grey/grey blue" being my description of the text color:

Project type : CLDC Application  (black:black)

Alternate Entry point for: RimHelloTest (grey:greyed blue)

Name of main MIDlet class: empty (grey: -)

Arguments passed to "static public void main(String args[])": gui (black:black)

Home screen position (0 if no preference): 1 (black:black)

System module: unchecked (black:black)

Auto-run on startup: unchecked (black:black)

Startup Tier: 7(Last;3rd party apps only)  (grey:grey blue)

All the other tabs are untouched and kept as default.

OK,  let me try again...

Great, here it is. It seems to be my desktop mapping problem...

Here is the application tab for my background app:

Here's the general tab:

Here is my workspace arrangement:

BTW, right now I have both 4.3 and 4.6 installed, does it matter?

The links to your images appear to be broken (broke in my browser anyway).

Having multiple versions of the BlackBerry JDE is fine, it shouldn't cause an issue.

I can't post an image on our company website. So here is a description of the Application tab of the entry point project, with "black/grey/grey blue" being my description of the text color:

Project type : CLDC Application  (black:black)

Alternate Entry point for: RimHelloTest (grey:grey blue)

Name of main MIDlet class: empty (grey: -)

Arguments passed to "static public void main(String args[])": gui (black:black)

I feel there is something wrong with the fields being greyed.

All the other tabs are untouched and kept as default for this project.

The "Alternate Entry point for" box is greyed out because you have the Project type set to "CLDC Application".  If you change this to "Alternate CLDC Application Entry Point" you can select the project that it is the entry point for.

Selecting "CLDC Application" means that this is an application (stand alone application), not an alternate entry point for another project.

Do you have multiple projects or is this the single project for your application?

I used to look for but didn't see any "Alternate CLDC Application Entry Point" choice at all in that box, neither in v4.3 or v4.6. That was why I assumed CLDC type should be OK. I just uninstalled both versions,restarted my PC, and reinstalled the v4.3 again. Now I do see the choice, only for the entry point project though.

I cleaned all and built all, but still saw the same two warnings and no icon showed up. Another problem of the JDE still exists:  Help-> API Reference brings a error message "Windows cannot find 'lastHelpVisited.html'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again."  Since I've been able to access the API reference from Window's Start menu directly, I never mentioned this before. Now I wonder if all the problems are caused by Vista.

I also has a resource project active (so totally 3 active projects), though it only deals with English for now. I set its project type to be "library", since it doesn't look to me like a Midlet or CLDC application, which are the only other choices.

Will you suggest me switch to XP?

The "Alternate CLDC Application Entry Point" will only show up if the workspace has a "CLDC Application" project already.  Otherwise, there is nothing to create an alternate entry point for.

Have you added the source code with your main in it to the CLDC Application project?  Or does it reside somewhere else in your workspace?
