Finally!! I've been waiting for this. The original IDE was a pain to get to run under Linux
First the installer wants to update my eclipse from 3.1.3 to 3.1.2 - I would call that a downgrade. While installing really unpacks eclipse 3.1.2 which seems to be part of the installer package - ok that is the reason why the installer has more than 200 MB...
After plugin installation my eclipse installation contains a lot of old junk and two new features:
Blackberry JDE Plug-in for Eclipse 1.0.0.22
Component Pack 4.3.0 Feature 4.3.0.8
Therefore I recomment installing the "JDE plugin" i a new directory and afterwrds copy the necessary plugins into the real eclipse installation.
