BlackBerry applications written in Java provide the most capabilities to the BlackBerry user. Any developer wanting to provide the best possible performance and experience for their end users will likely want to build their applications using Java. The purpose of this chapter is to provide all of the information a developer will need to begin developing Java applications for BlackBerry. Research In Motion provides extensive documentation for the BlackBerry java platform, so do not expect this chapter to tell you everything you need to know about writing applications in Java. To cover every aspect of BlackBerry Java development could easily consume a book twice the size of this one. Instead, this chapter will focus on what can be done with the platform and how to use the development tools rather than to dig deep into the Application Programming Interfaces (API) available to programmers.
