Trialling HausKeys with the Blackberry Emulator

The BlackBerry Simulators pages link to the BlackBerry Simulator User Guide from here .

"BlackBerry_Simulators_4.1.0.223.exe" was installed and the emulator started up fine. However "File > Load Java Program" looks for a COD file, and we have a JAR.

The BlackBerry Java Development Environment provides the RAPC compiler to compile .java and .jar files into .cod files that can be run in the BlackBerry device simulator or loaded onto a BlackBerry device. Sun also provide a useful article Programming the BlackBerry with J2ME which shows an example of RAPC usage.

Investigation into Blackberry emulation stopped here, since discovering the emulator working from the Java Wireless Toolkit (WTK) was easy to get working.  Perhaps someone with a Blackberry will have more interest in adding to this page.
