Blackberry Eclipse Plugin - cannot generate cod file or see BB properties - eclipse

I am using the BB eclipse plugin to create a BlackBerry app. I made some changes to my app but they were not reflected in the simulator. So I ran clean.bat and rebuilt the project. But now the project's cod file is not getting generated.
And if I try and view the BlackBerry project properties for the Project, I get an error saying the window contains invalid values and it doesn't let me see the BB properties of the project.
The only solution I've found in the support forums is to create a new project and copy the whole code to this workspace. But that doesn't look like a very good solution.

It seems to be a bug in the blackberry eclipse plugin. I had the same problem and "fixed" it creating a new project.
Sometimes it works launching the simulator and erasing the application in the simulated blackberry. Another trick is to delete .jar, .jad and .cod refresh and then clean all.
The last tricks that also works is to open the same workspace with the Blackberry IDE and it may repair it.
Sorry, I don't have a definite solution but I hope you can solve your problem with one of the tips.

You have to follow some steps as:-
Delete deliverables folder.
Remove all .jad files from your system. Search all .jad files in system.
Go to eclipse\plugins\net.rim.ejde.componentpack6.0.0_6.0.0.30\components\simulator and run clean.bat. It will reset the clean simulator.
Clean all projects from workspace.

Eclipse does not seem to recognize Native Android code

I am trying to learn about native Android, using NDK.
I find some sample projects in NDK folder and on the Internet. After much configuration, they are runnable.
But, my problem is: when I open a .c or .h file in JNI folder with Eclipse (just want to see what it is), Eclipse shows many error in this file. For example, it don't know what is JNIEnv, jobject, jstring.
I haven't made any change in the project, just opening it. Errors mean I can't rerun it again except if I delete it from the workspace then reimport it.
Eclipse does not work well with C/C++ files. At least, for me it did not.
After some search, I have managed to configure Code::Blocks to support NDK, please see this answer to the question:
Need a simple Linux C++ IDE (Android NDK) .

Reconciling BAR descriptors QNX IDE

Hello Everybody,
I am importing a sample project "Bucket-list" from Github https://github.com/blackberry/Cascades-Samples/tree/next/bucketlist in QNX IDE but not able to import successfully . Getting error .
Please have a look on Screen-Shoot and suggest me , what I will have to do for sort -out the issue.
All suggestions are welcome and appreciated
May be the issue is related to QNXIDE-Workspace setting , sometimes QNXIDE-Workspace setting changed ,Workspace setting reset is the most preferable solution in this way
I Follow some simple steps to sort-out the issue :-
1. Close QNX IDE
2. Remove .metadata folder that exist in BB10 Worspace
3. Restart QNX IDE & import the Sample project now it's compile & run fine
This happened to me after updating to the latest SDK. Applications worked properly before. Event clean projects "died" trying to compile BAR.
You can tell something is wrong by right clicking on the package, going to Properties, and selecting Actionscript Build Packaging > BlackBerry
To be clear, the instructions above about the .metadata folder is correct.
Open Explorer, go to C:\users\%username%\Adobe Flash Builder 4.7\
(orwhever the user folder is for your IDE) and rename the .metadata to old.metadata.
Restart IDE

Subversion with Eclipse for android

Okay I am starting to give up with this. I have been trying to setup sebversion in Eclipse for my android project. I have been following the following tutorial
http://blog.bauson.com/eclipse-subclipse-svn-hostgator-com.html
I got the following:
Created a repository called myRep
Created a project under with source files myRep/TestProject and attached it to trunk
installed subclipse and got it to grab the repository
Now when, it says "Checkout as a project configured using the new project wizard", I get to choose the type of project. If I choose android application project then it creates a default android project and nothing is checked out. But when I choose General Project, it does grab the whole thing in the following structure
Repositony->TestProject->Trunk->All my android files and folders
However I want it to be android project so I can compile and run it. I did a lot of googling and I need your help pleeease!
Never mind, I figured it out. Apperently, when you choose the repository you have to right click and click refresh and it will show you a list of Folders (stupid eclipse does not do it automatically). Then you choose your project and create it as a new project. Voilla, you get it compiling and running

Can't get Android ApiDemos to work in Eclipse

I feel a bit stupid since I develop android apps for a while now. My problem is that I can't get the ApiDemos to work with Eclipse.
Please have a look at the screenshot of my errors I get in Eclipse:
http://cheat-database.com/android.png
It looks like it can't find the xml files in the ApiDemos project. Although everything looks fine to me.
Any suggestions what I might be doing wrong?
Other (own) Android applications work fine in Eclipse.
Thanks a lot for help.
Do this: In Eclipse, File->New->Project, then either type the word "sample" in the filter text field or select Android->Android Sample Project and you will see all the projects such as ApiDemos, NotePad, etc.
The R.java is an automatically generated file. It is updated/re-generated whenever layout files, etc are changed.
I'm going to assume you tried to set up the project directly from the samples. I've seen that cause issues with write access if you don't have the privileges, and it doesn't seem to play nice when I try it either.
One thing to try would be copying the relevant ApiDemos folder to an alternate location and then try creating a new android project from that folder as follows:
Create -> New Android Project -> Create Project From Existing Source
Then point it to the location and select the relevant SDK.
It's not ideal, but at least it might get the application generating and running possibly.
Clean the project and build it again...I hope it would solve the issue
when you File->New->Other->Android Project from Existing Code, you have to tick "Copy projects into workspace".
got the same issue today :-(
this way gave me a solution very easy to use with ADT (eclipse) :
click on New Project icon --> Project --> Android --> Android Sample Project --> Next --> Select Target (for me Android 4.4) --> Next --> and then select the sample project you want to import in Eclipse (for me : legacy > ApiDemo) --> Finish
it works fine for me, i hope that could help someone :-)

Completely lost with Blackberry JDE for Eclipse

I'm serious. I installed the Blackberry web developer thing for eclipse (being stupid, and not seeing the 'web' part). Then, when I realized my mistake, I went and got the JDE for Eclipse. I went through the install process....open up Eclipse...and I'm lost. I don't know how to run code...or the simulator, or anything.
All the tutorials I'm finding are referencing an older "beta" version of the Eclipse plugin, which apparently had a "Blackberry" menu option. I'm not seeing that.
I found some sample code, which gives the helpful instructions:
"1. Extract HelloWorld_incomplete.zip
2. In the IDE, open the helloworld.jdw workspace
3. Open the helloworld.java source file.
"
...I've never seen a .jdw file before. If I try opening it in Eclipse, I get a not-very-useful text file. Since they say it's a workspace, I try the "Switch Workspace" option in Eclipse, which lets me pick a folder, rather than a file.
I'm pretty sure "Import Project" isn't right, either.
So, I figure I'll deal with that later, so I open up the source code (a standard .java file, with a main, etc). I try running it, but it asks for an Ant build file.
I can run standard Java files just fine (that is, I know Java is in my path).
I don't know if maybe I don't have the Blackberry part right...or if it's on the eclipse side where I'm failing.
Does anyone have any ideas?

Edit: Just to be sure, I tried downloading the plugin through eclipse with their provided link (http://www.blackberry.com/go/eclipseUpdate), but eclipse says that it got a .jar file when it was expecting a .zip file, and so it errored. Can you even unzip a jar file (like Eclipse is trying to do?)
It sounds like you have the wrong package.
I installed it yesterday from the "Download Now" button at http://na.blackberry.com/eng/developers/javaappdev/javaeclipseplug.jsp
and it had both the menu option and the Blackberry project type.
It should have an installer if you get the correct one. I would post a direct link, but RIM likes to ask for your info before allowing the download.
Try installing it to a different directory and using a new workspace. It could be that the old install is interfering somehow.
-Hope that helps
