I can finally take Windows off of my MacBook. This is awesome. Now they only need to make a build for linux along with Desktop Manager for Linux and I'll be set.

Now, the tricky part is moving my JDE keys....

Actually figured out it's really easy. Just import the existing keys from the plugins folder inside of Eclipse from the old system.

No OS X simulator though. They require you to test and debug using a Blackberry Torch... Don't go killing off your Windows environment just yet.

Hi .. I'm so tired with developing apps for BB and losing interest day by day, there was no proper development environment for Mac and Linux. There is only eclipse plugin available for MAC but no Smartphone simulators how can i test and debug. If i need smartphone device for testing my apps than how many smarthones I have to own if I'm developing a common app for all the device sizes.
Even for BB10 I need VMware player to run the BB10 simulators. This is too killng the developers. Android and ios have a developer friendly environment for develop the apps. Still i love to develop the apps for BB but RIM has to resolve so many things..
