I had what sounds like the same problem initially.       I found the answer
in the eclipseme-users archive:

   You need to specify the root-directory of your WTK, e.g.
   "C:\Programs\WTK2.2" (maybe you have to hit <TAB> to make the Plugin
   process the given path).


Here is a longer description:

The key turned out to be hitting the <TAB> key with the cursor in the
pathname window.    Here are the details:

1. Installed " Sun JavaTM Wireless Toolkit for CLDC
Version 2.5.2" that I downloaded from Sun's website into
/usr/java/WTK2.5.2.      Checked that "emulator" program runs.

2. Installed EclipseME from SourceForge and its script for
installation.

3. Started Eclipse and chose "Windows . . . Preferences . . . J2ME."

4. In the J2ME main level, set "WTK Root" to /usr/java/WTK2.5.2.

5. Under "Device Manager," chose "Browse" and used cursor to select
/usr/java/WTK2.5.2 again.    No devices appear in the list, even after
clicking refresh.

6. Followed advice on EclipseME mailing list to "chown chaiken" all
the directories in the /usr/java/WTK2.5.2 hierarchy and tried again.
Still doesn't work.

7. Tried this suggestion from  the eclipseme-users archives:

Yes, that's it!    Hitting <TAB> with the cursor in the path window
causes the list of devices to be populated!   See
WorkingDeviceManager.png for the result.

8. One more step:

Right-click on project name and choose "Run As . . . Run
Configurations."  Pick the "Emulation" tab and choose "Specific
device" and select down to something appropriate (say "Default color
phone").  Click "Apply."

9. Click "Run" button.    Emulator appears!

HTH.
