Blackberry Eclipse plugin and emulator

Question

I installed the following installation packages to develop Blackberry apps using the included emulators. I first installed them on a MacBook Pro, virtualizing Windows 7 x86 with VMware. Everything worked fine; I created a quick HelloWorld app and it compiled and ran successfully in the emulator. I did no other configuration. I installed the same app on my desktop PC with Windows 7 x64. I installed the exact same items. When I choose to run with the Blackberry Emulator, nothing happens. Any ideas?

Here's the file list:

• BlackBerry_JDE_PluginFull_1.0.0.67 (This includes Eclispe)

• jdk-6u18-windows-i586

Answer 1

Solution

I removed JDK and the JDE Blackberry plugin.

I reinstalled JDK 6.

I reinstalled the JDE Blackberry plugin into a different directory other than Program Files. So I installed it at c:\rim\eclispe

I started up eclipse and opened my workspace, started the simulator and it finally started and worked.

Answer 2

Did you install the same 32-bit version on both your virtual and desktop versions?

If so, I know the 32-bit version /should/ work on Win7 x64, but is it maybe not compatible? Do you need to just get a 64-bit version for your desktop?
