RIM Adjusts Blackberry MDS

The Canadian Blackberry manufacturer Research In Motion (RIM) continues approach on two software -Java and Web applications- development in the future. It can be derived from elements of the so-called Web Widgets that generate HTML, CSS and JavaScript, and as an application to install.

For that RIM adjusts the development environment Blackberry MDS. MDS Runtime and MDS Studio starting at the end of the year has no longer available, the support ends in mid-2010. New devices with OS 4.7.1 and higher are no longer MDS Runtime support.

To ensure the support of Web applications development, RIM offers a new version 1.2 plug-ins for Visual Studio . It requires Visual Studio 2008 Professional Edition on Windows XP and Vista in 32-bit version. In addition, RIM released a new plug-in for Eclipse 3.4, which is based on the same version of Windows.

Both tools include a device simulator, so that applications can be run directly on your PC for free, without having to install them on a BlackBerry device. Javascript can be used with the new plug-ins both for debug and profile. Moreover, they show the contents of transmissions to XMLHttpRequest.

The old Visual Studio plug-ins with V.1.0 and 1.1 are in the same frame as MDS Studio and Runtime. Both are no longer available or supported.
