Question

I install a blackberry developer plugin in my eclipse indigo that already installed by android. But after i installed the blackberry, my eclipse get an error. The error message is The building workspace has encountered a problem

Errors occurred during the build.

Errors running builder ‘Java Builder’ on project ‘AMDP3’.

I think it’s because my eclipse is confused because it tried to build an android project in the "blackberry way".

My questions are:

1. Can 1 eclipse contain android and blackberry plugins (i have searched and some say yes while some say no…so i tried to do it)

2. According to my 1st question, what should i do now?

Thanks
Answer : According to the chosen answer, i recommend you to install 2 different eclipse, but if it’s to late just uninstall your BB plugin : CLICK HELP->ABOUT->INSTALLED SOFTWARE->UNINSTALL

Answer 1

While theoretically you can, I’d recommend against it.

I’ve had a couple of bad experiences where installing BB plugin in eclipse uninstalled some metrics plugin I have already installed. Since then, I tend to use separate eclipses for each platform. Never had this problem with Android plugin. I also refrain to upgrade old BB plugins installs to the newer version, because of compatibility issues.

I usually download the eclipse+BB plugin package available in BlackBerry Developers page, because it comes with the setup almost done, so I can save some time.

If you are going to do it, try to install the problematic one (BB) first, then the Android one.
