BlackBerry Java Application Development : installing the JDE plugin for Eclipse Full installer

  1. Once the download is complete, begin the installation by running the setup program. As is typical with install programs, the first dialog in the setup program is a simple welcome screen reminding you what you are about to install. It is worth noting that this screen reminds you that you will need administrator privileges in order to install it. Click on the Next button to get started.

  2. The next screen is the license agreement that you must accept. Like everyone else in the world, just accept the terms and move on. Click on the Next button after selecting the Accept radio button.

  3. Following the "License Agreement" dialog is an "Install Location" dialog. I recommend using the defaults, but there will always be one person in the crowd who wants to do things differently. That's OK. That's what this page is for. You will need to come back to this location though, so be sure to remember it. Click on the Next button when you are done.

  4. Proceed to the next screen that shows the "Confirmation" dialog. Check it over and make sure you didn't make a mistake somewhere along the way before clicking on Next to begin the installation.

  5. At this point, the setup program will install Eclipse into the directory you provided. When it is done, a final "Confirmation" dialog is shown. Click on Finish to dismiss it.

What just happened?

Installing Eclipse with the JDE plugin is easier than installing Eclipse directly and then installing the proper component pack and so is the best way to get started quickly. You will need to install other component packs with other versions of the SDK at some point in the future, but for now we will focus on using version 4.5.

Installing other JDE component package versions

Now that you have Eclipse installed you may want to install other JDE Component packages as well. Remember, the full-package installer contains the JDE Component Package version 4.5, but also remember that you need to choose the version of the SDK based on the devices that you want to support, and version 4.5 might not be the one you need.

With the JDE there is no choice; you must install another JDE instance for each version of the SDK. The majority of the JDE is unchanged between versions, but the JDE itself is tightly coupled with the SDK version.

Eclipse is not this way. You can have one installation of Eclipse and install several BlackBerry JDE component packages-one for each version of the BlackBerry SDK. A workspace can use only one component package at a time, but switching between them is not very hard. The nice thing is that you can download them to install later or install them using an on-the-fly download and install. The following screenshot shows that there are several component packs available for download on the BlackBerry Developer Zone website.
