javax.microedition.location.Location on WM6.1

Description

bbTracker will not install on my Windows Mobile 6.1 HTC Mogul, because it claims I do not have javax.microedition.location.Location. The mobile Google Maps app is able to use the GPS on this phone. I'm sure it's not cell-tower based, it reports the number of satellites it's using at any time.

The midlet manager is Esmertec Jbed.

What error message do you get? Does your phone decline even the installation?

As far as I could see from the web, the HTC Mogul has no built-in GPS. This wouldn't be a problem, since bbTracker can talk to Bluetooth GPS pucks as well, but this would mean that it's unlikely that the JVM supports JSR-179 (the Location API). As I said this is not strictly necessary, but it could be that your phone declines to install any software that mentions a library that it doesn't know.
