I am new to developing applications for the Blackberry. I just downloaded and installed the JDE. However when I click on the Shortcut nothing happens. I found 2 sites that said to put in the path to javaw and java.exe, however when i do that.. .I just get another error. Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong... my ide.bat is below:
Thanks in advance:
-=-=-=-=-
start C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.5.0_14\bin\java.exe


start C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.5.0_14\bin\javaw -Xmx256M -DRIM_RUNTIME=..\lib -DRIM_BIN=..\bin -jar IDE.jar

HELP!!! : )

you have to put the path to your java installation into the PATH system variable (look ip up on google). do not put the absolute path into your batch as the relative paths are needed.

start javaw -Xmx256M -DRIM_RUNTIME=..\lib -DRIM_BIN=..\bin -jar IDE.jar

would be the correct batch-file, executed in the bin-directory of your installation.

ha, well that makes perfect sense!


I have made that correction, and now whenever I launch the shortcut, it clocks for a bit. And in the task manager, javaw , does open... but then a couple seconds later closes. And nothing else happens..

Any more ideas?


Thanks for all the help!

Which icon are you trying to launch?

[Firemaple]

Icon says just "JDE"

links to ""C:\Program Files\Research In Motion\BlackBerry JDE 4.2.0\bin\ide.bat""

Hmm. make a backup of ide.bat. Then change what you see in ide.bat to

start javaw -Xmx256M -DRIM_RUNTIME=..\lib -DRIM_BIN=..\bin -jar IDE.jar

As Simon said Lets hope that works.
