Substance of Code

I’m just about to release the next version of the RSS Reader MIDlet. I had a bit of a trouble when I tried to get a BlackBerry JDE to work with NetBeans IDE 5.5 and Windows Vista. As I wrote earlier it was rather easy to setup for Windows XP.

I set up the environment like it is described in NetBeans support pages except I used the latest version of BlackBerry JDE v4.2.0. After few clicks on the build button I wondered why it didn’t create the COD file as it did with the XP. I started to look around the build.xml to discover that Vista is filtered out with the following command:

… exec os=”Windows NT Windows 95 Windows 98 Windows 2000 Windows XP” …

So it didn’t really require much of a brain work to figure out that Vista should be added to this list:

… exec os=”Windows NT Windows 95 Windows 98 Windows 2000 Windows XP Windows Vista” …

And now when I press the build button the COD file is created without any problems. I’ll try to publish the RSS Reader v1.3 within the few days.
