Creating a Launch Configuration for the Project

Create a new launch configuration for the SMP101BlackBerry project. The configuration specifies how the application launches, and defines the target BlackBerry platform.

1. In WorkSpace Navigator, right-click the SMP101BlackBerry project, and select Run As > Run Configurations.
2. Select BlackBerry Simulator and the New launch configuration icon.
   
3. In the Projects tab, select the SMP101BlackBerry project.
4. In the Name field, enter SMP101BlackBerry.
5. In the JRE tab, select the Project JRE (BlackBerry JRE Version).
6. In the Simulator tab, select Launch Mobile Data System Connection Service (MDS-CS) with simulator. Then select BlackBerry-SDK - Version as the device.
   
   
   

   If you are running the BlackBerry JDE 7.0 with the BlackBerry Java Plug-in v1.5 instead of the BlackBerry plug-in for Eclipse, you must launch the Mobile Data System (MDS) manually for the BlackBerry simulator to run by following the sub-task below. Otherwise, proceed to step 7.

   MDS is a framework that offers security, wireless connectivity, manageability options, and development methods. You need it to run the simulator. It is a known issue, which has been fixed in BlackBerry JDE 7.1, that the simulator cannot launch MDS.

   1. From a command prompt, go to <Eclipse_InstallDir>\plugins\net.rim.ejde.componentpack7.0.0_7.0.0.33\components\MDS.
   2. Start MDS by entering:
      start run.bat
   3. Press any key to bypass this message.
      ERROR: Your java version does not meet the minimum requirement of 1.6.0_20. Press any key to continue...
      MDS starts, and you can now launch the BlackBerry simulator. Leave the command window open.
7. In the Network tab, verify that Disable Registration is selected. If it is not, the sample application cannot get data from SAP Mobile Server.
8. Click Apply, then Close.
