Setting up your development tools for BlackBerry Java
applications



If you’re developing Java® applications for the BlackBerry® device, there are
a number of tools you can use to develop your application.  In this article, we
will focus on setting up the BlackBerry® Java® Plug-in for Eclipse®.



The BlackBerry Java Plug-in for Eclipse extends the Eclipse® development
framework to allow you to develop a BlackBerry Java application for the
BlackBerry device. In Eclipse and Eclipse-based IDEs, the plug-in provides the
tools to develop, debug, optimize, and localize your application.

  • 2 GB RAM or more
  • Monitor with 1024 x 768 resolution or higher
  • Windows Vista®, Windows® XP, or Windows® 7 (Note: 64-bit
    versions require 32-bit Java® and 32-bit Eclipse).
  • Java® Platform, Standard Edition (Java SE) Development Kit (JDK) 6, update
    14 or later
