----------------------------
Ya sure. Also, if I remember correctly BB does not like special characters in file names but I can't remember if the build tool warns you about that or not.

----------------------------------
One of the tricky part of Blackberry I struggled to get my app working was ChildBrowser.js file was not having same capitalization for filename on iOS/android and blackberry. Blackberry browser is case sensitive to detect .js file names. Spent whole day trying to figure out why plugin is not detected. I think we should document that all file names are case sensitive in Blackberry. May be we should have separate JIRA to update plugin developers guide to have same filename (case sensitive) for all platforms.

The [PhoneGap Wiki BlackBerry Tutorial|http://wiki.phonegap.com/w/page/31930982/Getting-Started-with-PhoneGap-BlackBerry-WebWorks#BuildthePhoneGapSampleApplicationProject] is accurately documented and can be used as a baseline for updating the BlackBerry "Getting Started" documentation.

---------------------------------
I've taken a first stab at updating the BB getting started guide [1] based on the most recent coho output format [2]. FYI, Github's mark down preview is a bit goofy so it doesn't render completely correct.
Some things to note:
1. I'm wondering if the video tutorial and more detailed version link (wiki) should be removed since they can quickly get out of sync.
2. Deploying to a device for playbook needs to be reviewed/updated. I don't have a playbook so am guessing at those steps. Looking at BB docs, seems like we may want/need to update our build process anyway to support debug tokens [3] and/or keystore password [4].

---------------------------------
Made updates [1] based on comments. In regards to comment #2 from Tim. It seems odd to me that we require the user to specify the directory that contains the bbwp binary. I would vote we open an issue to change the build and project.properties to just point to the WebWorks SDK install location.

-----------------------------------
*Gophinath M.R.:* Good catch. I've never experienced this problem but I can see it being a huge time sink!
I think this "quirk" needs to be documented for the end-user as much as the plugin-developer. So, we may want to add a note under the [Getting Started with BlackBerry|http://docs.phonegap.com/en/edge/guide_getting-started_blackberry_index.md.html#Getting%20Started%20with%20Blackberry] along with updating the [How To Create a PhoneGap Plugin for BlackBerry WebWorks|http://wiki.phonegap.com/w/page/35799737/How-To-Create-a-PhoneGap-Plugin-for-BlackBerry-WebWorks].
I'll create a new issue to update the Wiki page.
*Gophinath M.R.:* It would be rad if you have time to update the Wiki! Otherwise I can handle it.
*Tim Kim:* Can you ensure that the [Getting Started with BlackBerry|http://docs.phonegap.com/en/edge/guide_getting-started_blackberry_index.md.html#Getting%20Started%20with%20Blackberry] has a note about filename case-sensitivity.

Tim Kim commented on CB-303:
----------------------------
Hey there,
The updated guide looks pretty good so far but you may want to include the following:
1) The user needs the Blackberry Desktop Software to connect to a device
2) An extra emphasis where the bbwp should reside within the sdk downloads. I think saying "... change the lines blackberry.bbwp.dir= and/or playbook.bbwp.dir= to equal the respective install locations of the SDKs you downloaded earlier" is a little ambiguous because it could mean just point to the sdk directory as opposed to the actual bbwp folder within that sdk directory IMHO.
3) How to sign signing keys section. I know that step tripped me up when I first tried to deploy to the playbook/blackberry.
4) And maybe put a "required" note beside the playbook header in section 5b. There might be some ambiguity because the smartphone has an "optional" note on it. If a user does not specify even one point within the playbook section, then a deploy will fail.

Oh ya,
5) The sdks also need Adobe Air to complete the install so that can go in the requirements section.
