installing BlackBerry Eclipse JDE plugin on Mac OS X


Is it possible to install BlackBerry Eclipse JDE plugin on Mac OS X? I tried to install the plugin through the eclipse update and also by downloading the zip file from the BlackBerry site.

This is the most unintuitive process for getting set up in development environment. BlackBerry site does not make it easy.


Solution

  • The supported Blackberry development arena is very Windows centric. The compiler (rapc) is a windows executable. I have zero Mac experience so I can't tell if this will help but this guy seems to have been successful compiling. There may be some help there.

    Good luck.


    Edit: while correct at the time the question was answered, since then, a Mac Eclipse plugin has been released. See other answers.
