To Configure NetBeans IDE for BlackBerry Application Development

1. Start a text editor and copy the following text into an empty file.

   ---

   Note –

   If you installed BlackBerry JDE in a non-default location (for example, not on the C:\ drive), edit the contents of the home property setting for the platform element.

   Make sure that the contents of the preverifycmd property setting for the platform element all appear on one line of the file. The contents are broken up here for readability only.

2. Save the file, giving it the name BlackBerry_JDE_421.xml.

3. Copy the file to the following location in your home directory under C:\Documents and Settings:

   .netbeans\6.5\config\Services\Platforms\org-netbeans-api-java-Platform

4. If NetBeans IDE is running, stop it.

   You will be prompted to start (or restart) NetBeans IDE in the next task, To Import the SecureMusicDB Sources into NetBeans IDE as a BlackBerry Project.
