RIM released updated Java and Web-based development tools for the BlackBerry platform.
The BlackBerry Java Plug-In for Eclipse v1.1 and the BlackBerryWeb Plug-in v2.0 offer new capabilities that make it even easier to create feature-rich applications.
The BlackBerry Widget SDK (Software Development Kit) v1.0 and the BlackBerry Java SDK v5.0, which includes more than 20,000 APIs, provide unparalleled access to BlackBerry smartphone hardware features, native BlackBerry software applications and other unique system capabilities of the BlackBerry Application Platform.
Using the new tools developers cany build web-based BlackBerry Widgets or Java applications that leverage the benefits of the BlackBerry Application Platform to seamlessly share information across and interact with core BlackBerry applications or other third party applications. These are personalized and contextualized applications that can integrate with a BlackBerry smartphone’s inbox, calendar, address book and other native BlackBerry applications to deliver a highly engaging user experience.
