Java Development Tools

Hi,

Forgive in advance my frustrated tone, this is only directed towards me or to be precise my inadequacies.

I'll give an example, currently I'm learning about [Einstein's General Relativity|http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hbmf0bB38h0] a very difficult concept but not insurmountable! It's another story when it comes to understanding classpaths and the like, or for that matter stuff about operating systems in general. None of it seems particularly conceptual, rather an endless sea of background information. On the other hand I really enjoy programing as I find it a very creative process and a long way from buzz words, acronyms and jargon. If that's what I wanted I would have studied law! Or maybe I'm being too harsh and it's just a case of sour grapes:-)

So getting down to practicalities, in all my experiences with java including an 'open university' course using java se where netbeans ide was used; the only mention of classpaths was something along the lines of not needing to worry about them. So back to the present, I'm learning about midlets, I'm using java me sdk, when am I likely to be confronted with problems regarding classpaths and the like? Would that I can't get BB jde to work be an example of this? I'm simply blind to the relevance of such things. Whenever I attempt to read up on this stuff I feel I'm opening up a Pandora's Box.

A tall order I know, any help on this matter would be gratefully received

J:-):-):-)

p.s. That's supposed to be a big smile:-)
