Nithya,

Try printing out the jde.home property before the line that failes:

>${jde.home}>

If that yields no luck, please use the forum. Blog comments aren’t really for providing support.

krishnan,

You must set the jde.home directory in the build script or properties file. The path should be the directory where you copied the RIM JDE.

We also have forums now for discussions such as this: http://forum.slashdev.ca/

I was trying to get the
jde.home property set up correctly,
but I don’t know what mine should be.
I have tried: C:\Program Files\Research In Motion\BlackBerry JDE 4.7.0
which is the location of my file that is equivalent to yours but it won’t accept it.
Same thing with my simulator.home
I have attempted to give it
C:\Program Files\Research In Motion\BlackBerry JDE 4.7.0\simulator
but once again it doesn’t like it.

The line it doesn’t like is

specifically the build.dir
