Hi Friends,

  I am confusion with Preprocessor  which was given by RIM in follow link,

http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/Java-Development/Use-the-preprocessor/ta-p/445231

as they said i have done preprocessor concept for Different OS as follows, 

I have installed Eclipse with BlackBerry Java Plug-in  Version:  1.3.0.201102031007-19 (which is having by defalult os if 6.0.0) so i don't have lower OS.

if i want to write a code for both OS 5 and OS 6 how do i write. 

For Preprocessors, i have added manually BlackBerryOS5.0.0 to the Bulid path. in my code it is defines as ,

//#ifdef BlackBerrySDK6.0.0
  import net.rim.device.api.gps.LocationInfo;
//#endif

When i installed in OS 6 Devices it runs successfully but 

when i installed in OS5 Devices it shows, net.rim.device.api.gps.location not found.

Please help me here.

You need to install the 5.0 API in order to use it. Just adding the preprocessor will not allow you to compile with a lower version.

Hi,

  I have already installed Blackberry OS 6.0 then how can i install downgrade version of the blackberry. If possible can you please provide me a link to it to download OS5.0 and install into Same Eclipse Folder path.

I went to the developer site, this is the link for the plugin: http://us.blackberry.com/developers/javaappdev/javaplugin.jsp

Look at "Eclipse updates" to be able to download the 5.0 SDK. Then you can change which SDK the project uses, it will automatically change the preprocessor to be 5.0.

  I will check and download the API 5.0 and respond with the result..
