Blackberry Environment

The last time i set up the ৺development environment for ৺Java/৺Blackberry, it was very difficult.
So i decided to write a guide this time.

First you need to ৺download several packages in order to make everything work correct:

http://java.com/de/download/manual.jsp (৺Java JRE)
http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/widget/jdk6.jsp (৺Java JDK x64 - if needed)
http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp (JDK with ৺Java EE)
http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/ (Eclipse for ৺Java Developers - Editor)
http://na.blackberry.com/eng/developers/ (৺Blackberry Plug in for Eclipse)
http://na.blackberry.com/eng/developers/javaappdev/ (৺Blackberry Plug in for Eclipse, eJDE-4_7_0_46_Component)

৺Download and install the packages above in exact the same order.

Eclipse has no installer, simply extract the package to the desired location.

Eclipse isn't working
If Eclipse won't start up, you need to check your path-values.
navigate to your advanced system properties and ensure, that the PATH-Value is pointing
to the JRE (64-bit Users, ensure, its pointing to your 64-bit JRE)
