Blackberry application loading on simulator

Question

while loading my application on BlackBerry simulator its displaying given below an error

Unable to start simulator. Check that the file exists. (java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Executable name has embedded quote, split the arguments)

Answer 1

I had same issue whilst trying to run the demo application.

I am running Windows 7 Professional,JDK 7u21 and STS 3.2.

This is an issue with the changes made to the decoding of command strings specified to Runtime.exec method.

In summary the path configured for the simulator launch contains spaces.In my case "C:\Program Files (x86)"

To Fix this issue

1. Copy the simulator Dir and MDS to a new directory that has no spaces.
2. From the run configuration settings,enable the use of Customized Command line ,Customized Working directory and Customized MDS directory.Update the entries to point to the new path that has no spaces.

Alternatively you can use windows shortened dir name by typing dir /X in the CMD from the directory that contains the simulator and MDS,this should give you something like PROGRAM~2

In the end ,the issue is not with the IDE or the Simulator,just java and windows not playing nice.
