Java Development

So 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 fully ran in the emulator. I did no other configuration. So I went to install this 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? Did I forget something? I know I did the same steps on the macbook version....

Here's the file list:

• BlackBerry_JDE_PluginFull_1.0.0.67 (This includes Eclispe)
• jdk-6u18-windows-i586

You probably did something different becaus a virtual machine doesn't change anything so if you were able to get it to work on Windows 7 on the virtual machine then the same steps would work on Windows 7 on a native machine.

The only thing i did on the virtual machine version was install the above two files. Do you see anything I may have missed or any tips ?

My setup steps went as follows...

1. Install the JDK
   Add an environment variable for JAVA_HOME that points to C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_22
   Add the following to the PATH ;%JAVA_HOME\bin;
2. Install the full Eclipse with JDE Plugin as you have done
3. Install a Component Pack e.g. 4.5.0
4. Install a one or more simulators

A component pack may be included with the Eclipse/JDE installer but I installed it seperately just to be sure. I've done the install on 2 XP virtual machines, 1 real Vista install and 1 real Windows 7.

The only other step once Eclipse has an open Workspace and Project is I normally go into Run -> Run Configurations and create a new Blackberry Simulator, picking a specific installed simulator from the Simulator -> Profile drop down list.

So, I did all that and even a clean install of the eclipse plug-in...I go to run and i see in thebottom right its "deploying debug server" with a status bar sits on 50% then disappears i get the house glass for about 2 seconds then nothing....

I have seen the same behaviour, but only when using the default simulator. Can you confirm you went to Run -> Run Configurations and create a new Blackberry Simulator, picking a specific installed simulator from the Simulator -> Profile drop down list?

[gmcalab]

Right now I am trying to use the default simulators....

I try to change the simulator to a different one, apply, and then run. same thing.

I tried a couple others, the one i dowloaded, it started but ran really slow.

Each time I start the simulator a new process starts called " fledge.exe" stays there for a sec or two then disappears...
