Research In Motion has released updated Java and web-based development tools for the BlackBerry platform.
The BlackBerry Java Plug-In for Eclipse v1.1 and the BlackBerry Web Plug-in v2.0 make it even easier to create feature-rich applications.
The BlackBerry Widget SDK v1.0 and the BlackBerry Java SDK v5.0 provide access to BlackBerry smartphone hardware features, software apps and other system capabilities.
Using the new tools, developers can build apps that leverage the BlackBerry Application Platform to seamlessly share information across and interact with core BlackBerry apps or other third party apps.
