Example:
<jde-directory> = C:\tools\rim\jde-4.6.0
<simulator-directory> = C:\tools\rim\simulators\4.6.0.190-9000

Adding Simulators

  1. Install new simulators under C:\tools\rim\simulators\<version>-<model>
  2. If the simulator came packaged in a zip, open <simulator-directory>\SimPackage-*.rc and replace "<install_dir>" with <simulator-directory>
  3. Copy SimPackage-*.rc from <simulator-directory> to <jde-directory>\bin

Removing Simulators

  • The JDE stores the external simulator profiles in <jde-directory>\bin\Settings.rc. By deleting this file the profile list for the JDWP will be reset.
  • Any simulator packs that were installed using an .exe will be automatically loaded when the Settings.rc file gets reset. If you uninstall these packs through the Windows Control Panel, then they will not be loaded automatically into every JDE. You will want to rename the simulator directory temporarily so it does not get deleted when uninstalling.
  • Any simulator SimPackage-*.rc files installed under <jde-directory>\bin will be automatically loaded when the Settings.rc file gets reset. If you want to remove a simulator, delete the SimPackage-*.rc.

    If you are attempting to install a new simulator manually, make sure there is no simulator already installed in C:\Program Files\Research in Motion with the same SimPackager-*.rc filename. If there is, then the JDWP will automatically use that simulator, instead of the one defined in <jde-directory>\bin\SimPackage-*.rc
