Hi,

I am trying to install the 7.1 Blackberry API using the eclipse update site as recommended.  Eclipse version is 3.6, using Blackberry plugin version 1.5  for eclipse, which is updated to the latest version available (Dec 2011).

I am getting errors such as the following when trying to install :

An error occurred while collecting items to be installed
session context was:(profile=SDKProfile, phase=org.eclipse.equinox.internal.p2.engine.phases.Collect, operand=, action=).
Problems downloading artifact: org.eclipse.update.feature,net.rim.ejde.feature.componentpack7.1.0,7.1.0.7.
MD5 hash is not as expected. Expected: c1ea601d912843c525408d7ee0780b46 and found fb9abe279068300312481a0ffc449078.

 When testing the GET url that produces the error in a browser or with wget/curl, I get the following response;

We're Sorry...

You've entered this page in error because you have the incorrect link. 

Please make sure that you have the correct link to download BlackBerry software.

If you have any questions, please contact the webmaster.

The url that seems to failing looks like "swdownloads.blackberry.com/Downloads/downloadFile" - appended with the session id.  (I am getting the urls from proxy logs.)

Can anybody shed some light on why the update is failing?  Or is there another way to install the jar?  The jar download succeeded as the plugins directory contains "net.rim.ejde.componentpack7.1.0_7.1.0.7".  Eclipse doesnt register it though.

Thanks,

B

I also had this problem. But finally solved it.

Here is the solution/workaround:

In the directory components in the directory where Eclipse is installed (e.g. C:\Eclipse\components)  there should be a directory called: "net.rim.ejde.componentpack7.1.0_7.1.0.7". If the directory is missing follow the instructions on this page http://us.blackberry.com/developers/javaappdev/javaupdate.jsp and ignore the error.

Now go into Eclipse en choose window>preferences>Java>Installed JREs

Choose Add

In the new window choose Blackberry Execution Environment VM>Next

In the defenition file box browse to the directory c:\<Eclipse install directory>\plugins\net.rim.ejde.componentpack7.1.0_7.1.0.7\components

Choose Blackberry.ee

Now Finish and there you should have a working 7.1 Blackberry API

Succes,

Thanks!

Apologies for late-accept - got eclipse sorted after using jde7.1 for a bit!
