About the BlackBerry JDE
The BlackBerry® Java® Development Environment is a fully integrated development environment and
simulation tool for building Java 2 Platform, Micro Edition applications for Java-based BlackBerry® devices.
It is a Mobile Information Device Profile (MIDP) compliant J2ME™ environment for developers who wish to
maintain seamless portability in their wireless applications.
Use the BlackBerry JDE to build applications that take advantage of the unique features of the BlackBerry
device, such as desktop synchronization applications, GPS applications, and applications that push content
proactively to BlackBerry devices in environments that use the BlackBerry Enterprise Server. The
BlackBerry JDE provides ways for BlackBerry device applications to establish network connections to
servers on the Internet or the corporate intranet.
Each version of the BlackBerry JDE comes with the BlackBerry Smartphone Simulators that were available
when that version of the BlackBerry JDE was made public. You can download additional BlackBerry
Smartphone Simulators from the BlackBerry Developer Zone web site:
http://www.blackberry.com/developers/index.shtml
.
Getting started with the BlackBerry JDE
You can start the BlackBerry® Java Development Environment in one of two ways:
1. From the Start menu, select:

Internationalization
The BlackBerry® Java Development Environment contains tools that assist with internationalization (i18n)
efforts. It is important to follow naming conventions.

See the BlackBerry Java Development Environment Development Guide or the BlackBerry Integrated
Development Environment Online Help for more information about localization.
Code samples
A sample BlackBerry® JDE workspace exists in the samples subdirectory of the BlackBerry JDE installation
directory. It contains sample programs that demonstrate how to design and build Java applications for
BlackBerry devices
