Hi All,

From BlackBerry website I downloaded the net.rim.eide.componentpack5.0.0_5.0.0.14.jar as the Beta 5.0 component package for eclipse.It's not a zip file rather than it's a jar file.

Can anyone mention the steps in installing the jar file.

I have version 5.0 beta 4 component package installed in eclipse do i need to remove that.

Regards

If you look at the Installation guide (currently: http://docs.blackberry.com/en/developers/deliverables/12794/BlackBerry_Java_Plug-in-Installation_and...) and go to "Install an external BlackBerry Java SDK" it should answer your question.

It might be easier to add the update site to Eclipse (At the bottom labeled "Installing Eclipse Updates" http://na.blackberry.com/eng/developers/devbetasoftware/javaplugin.jsp), this way you can bring up the Update Manager and install new versions of the Component Pack or update the plugin.

I am wondering if you were able to resolve the issue. The file is jar and not zip.

When I follow the instructions and add the jar file, I get the error "no repository found at c:\...."  any idea what could be the error ?

"no repository found at c:\...." is also observed from my end and If I try to install through BlackBerry Update Site it is taking more than half an hour with installation progress as 32%.

Weird, I've only done it from the update site so I never tried installing it when it was a separate JAR file, I was just reading what I read online.

Since it at least seemed to do "something" when you use the update site I would suggest doing it before you go to work/school/out with friends or family and just let it run for a hour or so.
