Very useful post. For extremely basic results (in answer to some of the queries above) I started in a basic directory of hello. Then mkdir bin and mkdir lib.
I copied preverify, preverify1.0, preverify1.1, rapc.exe and rapc.jar into bin. Copied net_rim_api.jar in lib and set jde.home=. (working directory) in the build.properties file.
Then ant builds a jar and jad (and cod). I then bluetoothed jad and jar to Blackberry, and explored Documents Folder via media. Click on the jad and it will install.
This is all just on principle of Good Enough to see if it works and wouldn’t be suitable for large projects or production.
(ubuntu 11.10, Blackberry Curve 9300)

Alexey,

Try searching the bb-ant-tools mailing list. I know something similar to this topic has been covered there before.

I have a problem with a project with a lot of .java files (over 1000). At first I had “Create process error=87″ problem at java start. It was solved by adding “generatesourcelist=”true”" flag to ant task. And now i stuck at the similar problem that appears at javac start. It looks like
[rapc] I/O Error: Cannot run program “javac”: CreateProcess error=87, The parameter is incorrect. Anyone can help me?

Figured it out:
export LANG=”en_US.ISO-8859-1″

Great post, really!
It worked for me, but I still have an issue with rrc/rrh files. If I look at the .crb corresponding files generated in the jar, they differ at the and of the name with those generated on windows. I.e. the file names in linux are ca.slashdev.FooApplication?.crb, as they are ca.slashdev.FooApplication-ú.crb in windows. It must have something to do with caracter encoding, but I can’t figure out how to fix it. If anybody has managed to use localization of resources under linux, please post the fix.
Thx

I’m missing something, I installed everything, I could even run the simulator from your other post, but I don’t know where to put the /lib dir from the JDE and when I run ‘ant’ inside hello i get:
BUILD FAILED
~/hello/build.xml:12: jde home must be a directory

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
