I'm eager to have support for BlackBerry OS 5.0 in PhoneGap as 5.0 gives us a far better browser implementation. Any ETA on when that will happen? Thank you

I followed these instructions and compiled the test phonegap app for Blackberry App version 5.0.
I called my app test2. I got this error "Error starting test2: Module 'test2' attempts to access a secure API."

It appears one needs to buy Java code signing keys from RIM to get the app to work:

I can't find a BlackBerry project on my Eclipse.

I followed whole thing above manual, but I can't find BlackBerry Project on Eclipse project like this File -> New -> Other -> BlackBerry Project.(I can't find it.)

How could I see a BlackBerry project.
(I'm using Eclipse Galileo)

The BlackBerry 5.0 SDK has made a lot of changes (for the good) and PhoneGap will need to start a new implementation to take advantage of it. I have started the project and got the basic architecture setup. ( http://github.com/mwbrooks/phonegap-blackberry-widget ). I just need to devote some more time to it. When it is ready, the project will be moved into the official PhoneGap project.
Don't be discouraged by lack of activity on the repo, there is still good progress being made!

Random:

You can correct, you need to purchase some codesigning keys from RIM to deploy to your device.

The BlackBerry Eclipse Plugin must not be installed correctly. Have you made any progress is getting the BlackBerry project to appear?

I followed the directions above with no problem. I am able to build the app and run it in the simulator. The splash screen displays, but then I get a solid white screen. Nothing else happens. Any ideas? We don't need to sign it to run in the simulator, do we? Any other thoughts?

I think I have discovered the problem I am seeing. The index.html page that is included in C:\PhoneGap-BlackBerry\framework\example references phonegap.js, but this file does not exist anywhere. There are a number of js files in c:\phonegap-blackberry\js, but not a single phonegap.js. I am guessing we will have to copy them to the /src/www directory and reference the ones we need from index.html.

The version I downloaded was 0.9.1. I will try to download the edge to see if this is resolved.

Jeff Thorn:

Hey, good to hear that the wiki instructions work for other people's systems! You're right that the phonegap.js is no where to be found. Recently (commit 667951), phonegap.js was removed from the source repo to become more inline with the other major platforms (iPhone / Android). Now, phonegap.js should be generated at build-time (it is just a merge of all JavaScript files in the directory js/ - _phonegap.js must be the first merged file). Unfortunately, no one added instructions on how to do this.

I'll add updating this wiki to my @todo list. The PhoneGap-BlackBerry project comes with an ant script (framework/build.xml) and an ant task called buildjavascript, which generates the phonegap.js. I will need to add another wiki step that involves configuration the Eclipse project to use:
`ant -f C:\PhoneGap-BlackBerry\framework/build.xml buildjavascript`

In the meantime, you have two options to get up and running:

1) Install ant and use it to build phonegap.js (you can also use ant to build the projection and load the simulator - completely bypassing Eclipse). Instructions are found on the PhoneGap-BlackBerry repository README (http://github.com/phonegap/phonegap-blackberry/)

2) I've compiled phonegap.js on my own repository fork. The downfall of using this copy is that it will become out-of-date as new commits are added to the main repo. I updated phonegap.js today, so you should be good for now: http://github.com/mwbrooks/phonegap-blackberry/tree/phonegap_js/framework/example/

I can compile, build, and install my application. However, when I go into the downloads folder on the blackberry, I do not see anything. I have set an icon for the app with 32x32. I have given an app name. I have tried using 4.7 and 5.0 JRE on various simulators.

Found I had to "run as -> blackberry simulator" as the instructions say. I was trying to create a new run configuration and use multiple simulators.

So can I not use something like

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="./assets/themes/earth/theme.css">

inside my index.html file?

I have tried using

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="assets/themes/earth/theme.css">
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="www/assets/themes/earth/theme.css">

and I perpetually get a JVM Error 104.

Fil Maj sounds like he is on to this one but I dont get his soution.

How is the Black Berry OS 5 going? I don't see any updates and I'd like to use it for a proof of concept at work.

Mike Medwith: I haven't worked on BlackBerry OS 5 past the proof-of-concept. However, I've recently been getting more questions / requests for a more functional (and official) release of PhoneGap-BlackBerry-Widget (or whatever it will be called). So, perhaps it's time to pound out the initial release!

Thanks for the update, I'm trying to get your proof of concept working in eclipse. I'm having trouble getting the app to load, I've never used a widget before. I've tried the file --> load option, and also browsing applications and downloads... I cannot seem to find a way to load the widget. Any tips on what to look for?

Finally got everything working after a couple hours of scratching my head. Wish I would have read the comments about phonegap.js earlier as this was my biggest issue I could get the interface to load but it wouldn't do anything.

I may add to the steps how to get ant working to build that file to save somebody else sometime in the future. Maybe later today.

Only thing I cant get to work is this. The app builds fine works in the storm 9530 simulator, but when I push it to my phone the app loads and if I click anything it pops the blackberry submenu up.

Probally because I have bb os 5.0 on my strom 9530 :-( and the simulator is running 4.7
