Has anyone successfully installed and run the Blackberry Eclipse plugin for MacOS?
Apparently, BB has not improved their Mac support much in the last year, since there was a question here about it last year.
I've followed their instructions to the letter, but they seem to assume that all you'll ever do in Eclipse is use their plugin. I want to move their plugin into an existing Eclipse installation.
I've copied the net.rim.* files from their Eclipse installation in to my /plugins folder, restarted, they show up in the list of installed plugins, but building an app always yields this error:
"Failed importing native project for BlackBerry. Missing Blackberry plugin. For more details see http://na.blackberry.com/eng/developers/javaappdev/javaupdate.jsp"
Thanks.

Here's the secret:
point Eclipse 3.6 Hellios to the following plug-in URL: http://www.blackberry.com/go/eclipseUpdate/3.6/web
Eclipse/Help/Install New Software... Add, enter some name and the URL above, and it works.

The Android Development Tool (ADT) Plugin is not showing in Eclipse 4.4.0 on Ubuntu Linux, despite being installed.
I have tried:
sudo /opt/eclipse/eclipse -clean
and several complete re-installs of Eclipse.
On my several retries, the ADT sometimes did show up in the preferences, and asked for the SDK Location. Which I don't know, since I used Eclipse's Install new software interface. I've never been pointed to any install location. I can't find any file named android-sdk*.
1) How can I make the ADT show up?
2) When the ADT shows up in preferences, which directory is the SDK Location?
I've searched far and wide on Stackoverflow and elsewhere, but question 1) was always answered with 'un-install and re-install the ADT', which doesn't work, and question 2) was always considered a given; no actual directory was indicated in anything I found.
So much kudos to who can tell me!
One common problem is being in an Eclipse perspective other than Java. For example, if you are in perspective Java EE, Android ADT menu won't show.
Not sure about the SDK location when installed from ADT but it is probably an android directory in your home directory (/root/android or /home/user/android)
So I have created an application using javaFX in Eclipse. I packaged an executable jar using Maven, with the zenjava javafx-maven-plugin version 2.0. I package in the command line using mvn clean jfx:jar. This creates a javafx/app subfolder in my target, which includes a lib folder and the executable jar.
When I run this executable jar on my Ubuntu or Windows machine, everything seems to work fine. On Mac however, I am having trouble. I have a welcome page that shows up first. It has a small description of the application and a button for users to push to continue on to the application. For some reason the button doesnt do anything on Mac. It works fine on Windows and Ubuntu. Any ideas why this is happening? Do I have to include anything extra for Mac?
There was an issue on Jira (JavaFX Bugtracker) concerning Mouse events on buttons disapearing. It was not exactly your MAC version (in the issue they named 10.8.2) but the issue has been fixed for the JavaFX 8 release (codename lombard). You might want to try the JavaFX 8 beta and see whether your bug has been fixed.

I've installed Eclipse 4.2 Juno. Now I want to install aptana for developing ruby, but I get the following error,
Unable to read repository at http://download.aptana.com/studio3/plugin/install/content.jar.
Unable to read repository at http://download.aptana.com/studio3/plugin/install/content.jar.
Read timed out
I assume that by now you have probably solved the problem, but I had exactly the same problem and found the solution after many searches, so for the sake of any others searching here...
The URL you need to enter in the 'Install New Software' dialog is
http://download.aptana.com/studio3/plugin/install
The following answer was correct. I just tested it with Eclipse Juno.
Steps:
Open Eclipse
Help -> Install New Software
Add (on the top right)
Enter the following link for Aptana Plugin with Eclipse Juno: http://download.aptana.com/studio3/plugin/install
Click OK
Put a check mark for Aptana Studio 3
Next -> Next -> Finish
download.aptana.com/studio3/plugin/install did not work for me. I am using Eclipse 4.3 based STS 3.4
Instead I got the appropriate update site link from this site Aptana Update Site
This is the link for Eclipse plugin update site http://d1iwq2e2xrohf.cloudfront.net/tools/studio/plugin/install/studio3/3.4.2.201308081736/
There is also a link to download the plugin and install through archive. I have used the above update site link and no problem at all.
Hope that will help others.
Adding this answer in case somebody still gets this error while using the correct URL from JonB's answer (http://download.aptana.com/studio3/plugin/install )
Restart Eclipse and try again.
This appears to be a transient issue, as mentioned here:
Aptana studio 3 cannot contact download.ecplise.org
It worked for me after a retry.
I also gone through same problem. But Following solution works for me,
In Eclipse, go to "Eclipse Marketplace" and search for Aptana 3 and hit the Install button.
Help -> Eclipse MarketPlace
Eclipse Market place - Aptana 3 Studio plugin
I wondered myself whether to install the standalone or the plugin. I tried the plugin based on aptanaès instructions and it failed on the first try.
As usual SO respondents reported this problem.
I restarted Eclipse, and then did the install with Aptanaès URL
http://download.aptana.com/studio3/plugin/install
and it worked.
My environment was Eclipse JUNO,
As of 01/29/18 and Eclipse Photon, none of the URLs listed as answers here work in Eclipse's built-in software sources panel. However, after some trial and error mashing up Aptana's old download URLs with the ones Appcelerator (which bought Aptana in 2015) uses for its own software, I got:
http://download.appcelerator.com/aptana/studio3/plugin/update/stable
This works, is totally plug-and-play, and is obviously official - no need to go off to some shady 3rd party hosting site. I just wish someone at Appcelerator had spent 15 minutes to post it somewhere.
I have a brand new installation of Eclipse with BlackBerry Plugin for mac.
The Java SDK 6.0.0 is already installed, the only thing now is that I want to compile for minor version, like 4.5.0
I have tried :
Help -> Install New Sotftware... -> http://www.blackberry.com/go/eclipseUpdate/3.5/java
But it gives me an error.
"No repository found at http://www.blackberry.com/go/eclipseUpdate/3.5/java"
anyone had the same issue ?
It seems that it worked for some people.
I don't know if what you're trying is possible, I also couldn't get it to work. According to the RIM site, they don't support building apps on OS X for non-6.0 right now, and based on the workaround below, I think it might not be as simple as installing the packages from the Eclipse installer.
However, I found a great post on building BlackBerry apps on OS X, and since then I've been working on my MBP, and can't say I would turn back. Here's a summary of how I got it set up:
Install Eclipse (I am using 3.5, but it may not matter) and VirtualBox.
Create a new VM and install Windows (tested with XP SP3). This
would probably work using VMWare Fusion or Parallels too.
On the VM, install Java 6 and the version of the BlackBerry JDE
that matches your target OS.
In OS X, download
bb-ant-tools.jar and move it
to ~/.ant/lib.
Get an OS X version of preverify, which is included in the Sun
J2ME SDK 3.0 for OS
X.
Install it and either copy
/Applications/Java_ME_SDK_3.0.app/Contents/Resources/bin/preverify to
somewhere in your PATH or just add that directory to your PATH.
If you don't have one already, create the file ~/.MacOSX/environment.plist.
Edit this file with /Developer/Applications/Utilities/Property\
List\ Editor.app/.
Create a new variable called PATH and set it to the value of your
shell PATH, making sure that the directory containing preverify is
included. This allows Ant, via Eclipse, to see the preverify command
when Eclipse is launched from Eclipse.app and not from the command
line. See this
for more details.
In OS X, create a directory for the BlackBerry components
(something like "bb-components").
From the BlackBerry JDE installation in the VM, copy both "lib" and
"bin" directories to this directory.
In Eclipse, create a new Java project.
Choose "Use an execution environment JRE:" and select Java 1.3.
Right click the project in the "Package Explorer" and select "Build
Path" and then "Configure Build Path."
Add bb-components/lib/net_rim_api.jar as an "External JAR."
Remove the "JRE System Library." This is so that only BlackBerry
supported classes will be offered via autocompletion etc.
Copy the attached minimal
build.xml into the project.
Edit the build.xml to suit your environment (specifically the
jde.home property) and anything else you want to customise.
Right click and select "Run as" and then "Ant Build" (the first
one). You can also build using Ant on the command line, of course.

Good luck!
I develop all of my BB apps on Mac hardware but I'm running Windows through Parallels. Not better than having native Mac tools, but it works!
Today I had a problem with my old Eclipse 3.4 installation and I had to re-download the entire package. However, I don't think that I got the exact package as before, and I'm having some problems.
The problem can be summarized as follows: when developing a plug-in, I cannot resolve dependencies towards 'org.eclipse.jdt.ui'. When trying to add the missing plugin, in the dialog the closest match is 'org.eclipse.jdt.ui**.source**'. A similar thing happens with other core plugins.
In order to test, I created a new plug-in using the wizard and I obtained a non-compiling plugin: one of the classes uses the class org.eclipse.jdt.ui.JavaUI and it cannot be resolved. Similarly, the MANIFEST.MF includes a dependency towards 'org.eclipse.jdt.ui', but the 'Bundle 'org.eclipse.jdt.ui' cannot be resolved'.
Now a summary of my platform:
I'm running Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger and Java 1.5.0_19-138
I'm running Eclipse Version: 3.4.1 Build id: M20080911-1700
I downloaded the modeling package, which comes in a file called 'eclipse-modeling-ganymede-SR1-incubation-macosx-carbon.tar.gz'
I've performed a fresh installation, in a new folder and using a new workspace.
If I look at the Plug-in Registry view, I can find the 'org.eclipse.jdt.ui' plugin in there, and it appears to be running. By the way, if it is disabled, then the workbench breaks and stops working.
I cannot understand what is happening. Is my installation broken? I wonder if the Eclipse package that I downloaded has an error and they included the sources instead of the compiled files. But in that case, the plug-in shouldn't be working in the workbench, isn't it?
In any case, why I cannot find the plug-in when I'm adding the dependencies, even if I see it in the Plug-in Registry?
Thanks for your help!
Problem solved: just restart the computer.
I don't restart my computer very frequently, so it took me a lot of time to find out that this was the solution. After I restarted it, everything started to work perfectly again. It seems that either Eclipse leaves something in the memory after running, or that some of my initial failures had left something nasty behind. In any case, I had checked and there were no Eclipse related processes running .... weird, but at least now it's fixed!
