Failed to start old SE java applications when installing ME SDK 3.0.5

Question

I installed the Java ME SDK 3.0.5 to create a MIDlet, but as soon as it connected to NetBeans, I can not run SE applications that were fine. For example, I get an error

C:\Documents and Settings\user\.netbeans\7.0\var\cache\executor-snippets\run.xml:52: C:\Documents and Settings\user\My Documents\NetBeansProjects\Hw2_1\work is not a valid directory at org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.Java.setupWorkingDir(Java.java:855) at org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.Java.setupExecutable(Java.java:825) at org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.Java.fork(Java.java:788) at org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.Java.executeJava(Java.java:214) at org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.Java.executeJava(Java.java:135) at org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.Java.execute(Java.java:108) at org.apache.tools.ant.UnknownElement.execute(UnknownElement.java:291) at sun.reflect.GeneratedMethodAccessor61.invoke(Unknown Source) at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.java:25) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:597) at org.apache.tools.ant.dispatch.DispatchUtils.execute(DispatchUtils.java:106) at org.apache.tools.ant.Task.perform(Task.java:348) at org.apache.tools.ant.Target.execute(Target.java:390) at org.apache.tools.ant.Target.performTasks(Target.java:411) at org.apache.tools.ant.Project.executeSortedTargets(Project.java:1399) at org.apache.tools.ant.Project.executeTarget(Project.java:1368) at org.apache.tools.ant.helper.DefaultExecutor.executeTargets(DefaultExecutor.java:41) at org.apache.tools.ant.Project.executeTargets(Project.java:1251) at org.apache.tools.ant.module.bridge.impl.BridgeImpl.run(BridgeImpl.java:284) at org.apache.tools.ant.module.run.TargetExecutor.run(TargetExecutor.java:539) at org.netbeans.core.execution.RunClassThread.run(RunClassThread.java:153) Java Result: -1

from an application that worked great before. What could be the reason for this?

Found that a NetBeans update is needed. I give a link here if someone else runs into the same problem and happens to read this.
