As with any new development project, one starts off with a simple 'Hello World' application. And so it is with the BlackBerry and Java code on it. I had a bunch of trouble getting the BlackBerry Eclipse plugin to work properly with Eclipse, but after installing, un-installing and generally cursing the damn thing a few times, I got it to work. I think the big trick was to understand that there are 2 things one needs to install:
- The BlackBerry JDE plugin for Eclipse and
- The BlackBerry Component pack (4.5.0, though I was able to build for the 4.7 device...)
A separate post on getting the JDE plugin to work and some questions related to that shortly. For now, here's how I got Hello World to work... I followed the instructions from the Thinking Blackberry blog. Below are the screenshots on the 5930 device running the 4.7 OS. There is also the helpful video put out by the BlackBerry folks themselves that I used as well.
