Hi All,
I decided to have a go at developing some code for a project I have in mind on the BlackBerry Storm.
I downloaded the BlackBerry JDE version 4.7.0 which includes the Storm simulator. I also checked that I had the latest Java SDK installed (jdk-6u12-windows-i586-p.exe) which the BB JDE needs to run.
I set up the environment variables on my PC and tried to build the very simplest of the example projects - helloworlddemo. It appeared to build and upon hitting Debug Go, the simulator eventually appeared.
However, the application is nowhere to be found - not on the main screen or under 'applications'.
I tried using the File menu to load a java file but still nothing happens.
Are these applications really getting into the simulator? Is it just me being too thick to operate a Blackberry?
Is there some secret combination of touch keys that must be pressed or is the code disappearing down some Java black hole? I'm defeated without writing a single line of code - not even an error message for my efforts.
How is it possible that I cannot even get the supplied code to do anything?
Please can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong?
thanks

After reading documentation on the Sun site and on this one, I determined that what I needed to do was to download Sun's jdk-6u12-windows-i586-p.exe SDK and the BlackBerry Storm simulator 4.7.0.75. I did this and set the environment variables and the IDE appears to build the sample projects and produce the .cod files. Clicking debug Go launches the simulator as expected but I cannot find any trace of the application on it. I've even tried using the file menu and navigating to a directory where the .cod files are located and still nothing happens.
I can't even get the simplest Hellow World demo to appear.
I'm running the RIM IDE on a windows PC which meets all the criteria as far as I can tell.
All the documentation I've seen suggests this should be a simple process but unless some one can help me past this first and very basic hurdle, I fear I shall be forever stuck here...
Many thanks to anyone who can suggest what obvious mistake I must have made.
