I did it through a netbeans solution. the guy who came up this approach though is on facebook so you can find him there.

I would like to join to this request to package BB dev tools to work on Linux out of the box.

With this survey, we are most interested in understanding which BlackBerry development tools you are using regularly, and on which host platforms (Windows®, Linux®, MacOS X). 

now fire !

Hi there! Great job. Only two things: 1-I didn't see a link for the blog. 2-any chance this will ever work with the native java (not using wine to install jdk)? Thanks!

Just tried it with SDK 7.0 on Linux: there's no option to download the plugin as a zip file, but I could install the SDK under eclipse via update site.

Now I start eclipse, and I see the blackberry plugin in the "about" box, but there's no other sign (I can't find it in the preferences, can't create a bb project, there's no bb perspective or menu)

What am I doing wrong?

Update: I got the plugin v1.5.0 installed under linux, now eclipse starts, and menus and prefs are ok.

Problem: as soon as I try to create a BlackBerry poject, it tells me that my execution environment is invalid (missing file "preverify").

Did anybody get a working environment with 7.0 SDK under linux?

Update 2 - I'm almost giving up

I fixed the missing scripts (created "preverify" shell scripts, which starts preverify.exe through wine), and got to compile the project under linux.

I also succeeded in importing the keys, but now can't start the simulator.

The error message is:
