Java Development

Hi,

I have this environment:

  Vista
  eclipse 3.5.1
  MTJ 1.0.1
  Java_ME_platform_SDK_3.0

  BlackBerry Java Plug-in    1.1.1.200911020017-11

     from http://www.blackberry.com/go/eclipseUpdate/3.5/java

The BlackBerry plugin runs fine if I create a *new* BlackBerry project and I can also debug it on the BlackBerry simulator.

But how can I debug on a BlackBerry emulator (or on real USB connected device)

my existing JAD/JAR Midlet?

(an  existing crossplatform project running fine on Nokia and Sony Ericsson)?

There is no menu item where I could choose to configure the BlackBerry plugin,

and in the Debug configuration I can't choose my Midlet project for BlackBerry debugging.

Thank you

Marcel

I dn't have any working expereince on Eclipse, but you can debug using JDE.

In JDE select Debug -> Attach to -> Handheld -> Device PIN. If the debugger attaches properly, you can see the results on output window of JDE.

You can also use ALT+LGLG to view the Event Logs on device.

Give a look at the other Tools/feature avaialble on JDE.

Thank you for this hint.

But it is not a real solution, I need to transfer the jad/jar complicated to the device before I can debug the open issues.

Is it somehow possible to copy some BlackBerry config files to my jad/jar MTJ Midlet project and

suddenly, just as magic, can debug into the BlackBerry simulators?

And finally, click on the debug on device button of eclipse and the jad/jar are deployed via USB on to the real device

and I can debug there - seamlessly?

Currently I'm stuck with the remaining tow/three BlackBerry specific issues of my Midlet (which is running fine on Nokia and SonyEricsson).

regards

Marcel

Hi again,

I can now debug my Midlet with eclipse 3.5.1 and eclipse BB plugin 1.1.1.

It is not very harmonic to do so:

* Jars and dependend projects don't work, so I have copied the complete involved source code

  from e.g. kxml2-min and my own J2ME basic libraries into the Midlet project I want to debug

  -> Not very smart, but it works

* I've created a dummy BlackBerry HelloWorld project and copied/merged the .classpath, .project and

  BlackBerry_App_Descriptor.xml into the root directory of my Midlet project

* Now I can debug in the BlackBerry Emulator.

  Unfortunately I always need to restart the emulator for each code change which takes some time ...

* Trying to debug the Midlet via USB on my BlackBerry 8800 4.5 failed with timeout.

  The BlackBerry shows forever "Debugger attaching..."

I hope this helps others for the first step,

any ideas about the remainign issues are welcome,

Marcel
