I ran into the same problem when obfuscating using JShrink (my obfuscator of
choice). It's because the obfuscator doesn't know where the extra class
files are. What I did for Nokia special classes was to get the midpapi.zip
file, get the nokia-specific class files, whack them in the appropriate
directory structure i.e. /com/nokia/specific/package/ClassName.class, then
stick it into a copy of the midpapi.zip file (I called mine
midpapi_nokia_specific.zip).

Then, when the obfuscator asks you what classpath you want, you can use the
phone-specific one with no problems. If obfuscating for a bog-standard
midp1.x phone, you use the standard midpapi.zip file.
