BlackBerry Environment Setup Under Windows


Notes:

These instructions were developed under Windows XP

Before proceeding with the setup, create a developer account on http://na.blackberry.com/eng/developers/

Steps:

1.Install Sun JDK. Download the latest version of JDK for Windows from http://www.java.sun.com and install it.

2.Install Eclipse. You need to get the windows 3.5.2 version from here http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/packages/release/galileo/sr2 and extract it.

3.Start Eclipse and go to: Help -> Install New Software and click on Add. In the location field insert this link http://www.blackberry.com/go/eclipseUpdate/3.5/java and click OK. From the list that is generated select “Blackberry Java Plug-in” and “BlackBerry Java SDK 5.0.0” and start the installation. Now you'll use the user/password created on http://na.blackberry.com/eng/developers/. You'll be prompted for those. After eclipse finishes the installations, restart it.

Now you should have a working environment.
