Get a code signing certificate
This can be from Verisign. The certificates issued by Verisign have the special "feature" that they are issued by an intermediate certificate authority. The certificate of the intermediate CA is unknown to your phone and thus the signature verification fails :-(
The following steps describe one way to make it suceed.
Configuring Eclipse to sign your midlet
See also: http://eclipseme.org/docs/refSigning.html
- Open the project properties and select j2meCheck the box "sign midlet" and enter the path to your keystore and the alias of the key.
Up to here everything is well documented in various places in the web.
MIDP_2_0_Signed_MIDlet_Developers_Guide_v2_0_en.pdf.html
Chapter 4.3 talks about intermediate certificates.
Now for the not so well documented issues
- Open the jad file in Eclipse
Select the "optional properties" tab to enter the "midlet permissions".
In my example these are "javax.microedition.io.Connector.serversocket"
Now the essential bit. Open the user defined tab and create a new entry named "MIDlet-Certificate-1-2". The value is the intermediate certificate (in one line and without the "-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----" and the "-----END CERTIFICATE-----").

In the Verisign case you can obtain the intermediate certificate from here: http://www.verisign.com/support/verisign-intermediate-ca/

The resulting jad file should look something like this:
