Follow these steps:

  1. Download BlackBerry JDE and install it.
  2. Download BlackBerry Ant Tools
  3. Download Eclipse (without JDE plugin) or Netbeans and install it.

Now use Apache Ant (comes with Eclipse/Netbeans),and use BlackBerry Ant Tools.

In your build file, for ant tasks specify path to rapc.exe (compiler), net_rim_api.lib (main sdk library) and other JDE components required by a particular ant task.

And build your BlackBerry application file, sign it, package and launch it with the simulator. BB Ant Tools supports it.
