Error: Symbian SDK Error - Failed to initialize session

Question

I've tried to deal with this before, about 8 months ago, I didn't find a solution for this then, and also now there is no real solution for it.

I downloaded the Nokia Symbian-3 SDK 0.8 - the newest today, I have Java 1.6.0.13, Eclipse 3.5 and winXP sp3, and when I try to run the emulator from the IDE, on the "Connect to agent" step, the debug/run fails, and I get this Error: "Symbian SDK Error - Failed to initialize session", I've looked on Nokia forums, and wrote Nokia an Email few months ago about this, but they probably don't care, since I got no reply, so perhaps someone here faced this error and found a way around it.

Here is the stack-trace from Eclipse error log:

java.io.IOException: Debugger launch time-out exceeded

Well,

That is funny that no one replied on this question...

The solution is simple, go to: Project->Right click->Properties->J2Me->Nokia SDK->Edit-> and in the combo box SELECT the SymbianEmulator and NOT the SymbianDevice, and thats it, it works.
