2. Select BlackBerry Simulator and the New launch configuration icon.
   
3. In the Projects tab, select the SUP101Sample project.
4. For the name, enter SUP101Sample.
5. In the JRE tab, select the Project JRE (BlackBerry JRE Version).

   If you are running the BlackBerry JDE 7.0 with the BlackBerry Java Plug-in v1.5, you need to launch the Mobile Data System (MDS) manually for the BlackBerry simulator to run.

   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 for BlackBerry that the simulator cannot launch MDS. This has been fixed in BlackBerry JDE 7.1.

   1. From a command prompt, go to <Eclipse_InstallDir>\plugins\net.rim.ejde.componentpack7.0.0_7.0.0.33\components\MDS.
   2. Run MDS manually, enter: start run.bat.
   3. When the following message appears, ignore it and press any key to continue.
      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 launch the BlackBerry simulator. Leave the command window open.
7. In the Network tab, verify that Disable Registration is checked, or the sample application cannot get data from Unwired Server.
8. Click Apply, then Close.
