Hi,

just got my 8830. need to program something.

i installed RIM, and i get an error when I try to compile, and it says:
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Building myproj
C:\Program Files\Research In Motion\BlackBerry JDE 4.2.1\bin\rapc.exe -quiet import=..\lib\net_rim_api.jar codename=myproj myproj.rapc warnkey=0x52424200;0x52435200;0x52525400 "C:\Program Files\Research In Motion\BlackBerry JDE 4.2.1\bin\main.java"

I/O Error: Cannot run program "javac": CreateProcess error=2, The system cannot find the file specified
Error while building project
-------------------------------------------------------------------

Have you seen this error? Do you know how to fix this problem?
Please help!

The program I want to make is the following:
Im looking for a program that can control my phones (8830) profile setting according to what time it is during the day.

Example:
My phone automatically switches to SILENT from 8:00am - 5:00pm, and it switch back to SOUND from 5:01pm to 7:59am.

Does anyone know any software that I can download. Im willing to pay for it too, if it works.

So, if you dont know any programs like this, than please help me fix this error so i can program it myself.
Thanks.
-Sevak

you need to ensure that your JAVA_HOME path variable is set in your environment. to do this, go to a command prompt and type 'echo %JAVA_HOME%'. if it's not set correctly or at all (one of which seems to be the case) go to
control panel -> advanced -> environment variables and add or edit the JAVA_HOME path variable, set it to the root directory of your java installation (something like c:\j2sdk1.4.2_14)

when i type anything after echo in CMD prompt, i end up getting anything.

example: 'echo %JAVA_HOME%'
gives me: %JAVA_HOME%

am i doing something wrong?

Anyways, I did what you said.
Control Panel->system->advance->enviromental variables->system vairable
and I added JAVA_PATH with value being the path.
im still getting the dang error.

PS - running WINDOWS XP.

[bemshaswing]

the path variable you add should be "JAVA_HOME", not "JAVA_PATH". that should clear it up. also to test this, be sure to restart your jde and/or your command prompt, env variables are inserted at load time.

[sevak316]

the path is set now because when I type "echo %JAVA_HOME%", it points to the directory (c:\jdk1.3.1_19).

However, I am still getting the same compile error.

You must have javac in your Path like the Pragram says. How the JAVA variable is named doesn't matter (in this particular case, in other cases it does). If your get it so far you must extend your Path with %JAVA_HOME%/bin;. You have it done if you can type javac in your command prompt and don't get something like 'unknown command'.

ok, im sorry, but i lost you. what am i suppose to do?


---ok im trying right now and no succes. I have added the <path>\bin and still javac does not work in my cmd prompt.

[bemshaswing]

actually, georg is right, I'm wrong. here's what you do:
in the environment variables area mentioned in this thread, scroll through system variables and look for variable "Path" then add the file system location (like C:\j2sdk1.4.2_14\bin;) to it

[georg]

And what do you get if you enter javac in the command prompt? (don't forget to restart the command prompt after you change the Path)

You can make sure you have a program javac.exe in your java bin folder. (your version 1.3 seems a little bit old to me, you shold use java 1.4 for BlackBerry JDE 4.x and java 1.5 or newer for BlackBerry JDE4.2)

You can check if your path set correct by echoing it in the command prompt.

sorry for the late response. I started school again and i am a busy berry. Anways, I got the "javac" to work in the cmd. However, JDE does NOT launch anymore. WHY??? I repaired it and reinstalled it, NOTHING. This is just wrong. Do you guys have any clue why this is happening?

[jfisher]

wrong java version installed on your computer - can't remember the details, try searching the dev forum on blackberry.com

[streamh]

BlackBerry_JDE_4[1].2.1.exe + j2sdk-1_4_2-windows-i586.exe + jdk-1_5_0_07-windows-i586-p.exe
I installed the three files and the JDE works well. Also I set the JAVA_HOME as "D:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_07".

May be you can try it in this way!
