Java Development

[jcr]

Hi, I'm new to Blackberry development and Java applications. I was wondering is there an easy way to create a GUI for the Blackberry like using Visual Studios? It looks like the Visual Studios plug-in does not support the Storm. Does the Eclipse plug-in suppose the Eclipse Visual Editor?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Consider Rapid Application Development tools, for example MDS Studio.

Seems like the MDS Studio might be my solution but when I install it, I can't get the 9530 (Storm) skin to show up..... anyone know how to get the Storm skin to work?

I think that you cannot launch App's OTA using MDS Studio's.. you would have to use a BES ..

I would recommend taking a look for VerticalFieldManager and HorizontalFieldManager

anyone else have updates on how to rapidly create a GUI app for the Storm?

Basic layouts are very easy if you just use the horiontal and vertical layout managers. If you're going to do anything serious, it's worth taking the time to learn how they work.

Well I think it's a little more complex than a basic layout and don't have much time to figure everything out
